Red Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks calls out ‘vile’ social media messages directed to him, his family
May 22, 2025
Red Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks took to social media to express his displeasure about death threats he says he received following Boston’s most recent loss the the New York Mets. In a post on Instagram, Hendriks said comments were directed at both him and his family. He described them including attacks on him as a cancer survivor. Hendriks, a 36-year-old reliever who previously battled non-Hodgkin lymphoma, has appeared in 11 games this season. He’s 0-1 with a 5.56 ERA. The incident comes less than a month after Red Sox All-Star Jarren Duran said a fan near the dugout in Cleveland directed inappropriate comments at him.
