(670 The Score) White Sox closer Liam Hendriks underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Wednesday morning, the team announced.

Hendriks, 34, was 2-0 with a 5.40 ERA over five innings of work this season. He returned to the team in May after beating Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, for which he was diagnosed in December.

The White Sox take on the Rangers on Wednesday night in Texas.
