(670 The Score) The White Sox have placed closer Liam Hendriks on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation, the team announced Sunday. The move is retroactive to Saturday.

Hendriks had posted a 5.40 ERA and earned two wins in five appearances since his return in late May after battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He last pitched Friday, throwing a scoreless inning in the White Sox’s 2-1 win against the Marlins that evening.

In a corresponding move, Chicago recalled left-hander Tanner Banks from Triple-A Charlotte. He has a 3.38 ERA in four appearances across two prior stints for the White Sox this season.
