Chicago White Sox puts Liam Hendriks on IL, activates Joe Kelly

The Chicago White Sox will be without the closer Liam Hendriks for at least two weeks after the closer was added to the 15-day injured list on Tuesday from a right forearm strain.



The move is in effect return Saturday.


White Sox general manager Rick Hahn told reporters: "It's a matter of how he reacts to the treatment over the next few days before we give an exact timetable.


A two-time All-Star, Hendriks was absent from Monday's 9-5 win over the Detroit Tigers due to what the team said was a pain in his arm, but he played the starting line-up before the game.



He's 1-2 with AL-best 16 saves, 2.81 ERA and 37 goals in 25 appearances this season. A year ago, he led the league in saves with 38 goals.


In other moves Tuesday, the White Sox reinstated right-hander Joe Kelly (hamstring) from the 15-day IL, recalled Davis Martin's right from Charlotte and picked left-handed Bennett Sousa for the Triple-A branch.
