The Chicago White Sox are still working on the next step for Liam Hendriks, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Pedro Grifol said Liam Hendriks is coming to Chicago tomorrow to meet with the team and reassess his next steps. Grifol said he?s feeling good physically, but Hendriks? return to major league action won?t be this week.

Some thought Hendriks could make his season debut this weekend, but the Sox may be having second thoughts after the reliever has struggled on his rehab assignment to a 10.80 ERA over five innings in six appearances.
Hendriks has been out all season due to his recovery from Stage 4 non-Hodgkins’ lymphoma. This season isn’t going as expected for the Sox, and if they decide to be sellers before the trade deadline, a healthy and productive Hendriks could have quite a bit of value on the market.
On Saturday, the White Sox will host the Kansas City Royals. The Sox will have Lucas Giolito on the hill, and he will be up against Jordan Lyles of the Royals. The Sox are -102 (-1.5) on the run line and -198 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 8.5, over (-118), and under (-104).
