Mark Hendrickson

4/11/2006

Hendrickson was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Devil Rays on Monday with left shoulder tightness. The Tampa Bay left-hander likely will miss two starts and is eligible to return on April 22. To take his place, right-hander Jason Hammel was recalled from Triple-A Durham.

3/14/2006

Hendrickson, who has been bothered by a leg injury this spring, is scheduled to make his spring training debut Thursday against the Red Sox. The Tampa Bay right-hander was 11-8 with a 5.90 ERA in 31 starts for the Devil Rays in 2005. If he doesn't suffer a setback, Hendrickson will start the season in the Rays' rotation.

1/17/2006

Hendrickson agreed to a $1.95 million, one-year contract with Tampa Bay on Monday, avoiding arbitration. The 6-foot-9 left-hander, a former NBA player, went 11-8 with a 5.90 ERA for the Devil Rays last season.

6/24/2005

Seth McClung will be recalled to start Sunday against the Marlins, which will push the rest of the Tampa Bay rotation back a day. Hideo Nomo will now pitch Monday, Scott Kazmir will go Tuesday and Hendrickson works Wednesday. Doug Waechter, who will start Friday's series opener against Florida, will go to the bullpen following his start.

5/23/2005

Although Hendrickson had to leave his Saturday outing in Miami with a leg cramp in his left calf, the Tampa Bay righthander is on scheduled to make his next start against Seattle on Friday. The humid conditions and heat probably led to Hendrickson's early departure, and leaving the game after six innings also eliminated the risk of a more serious injury.

4/30/2005

Hendrickson started Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles after being removed from the 15-day disabled list. The pitcher, who went on the 15-day disabled list with stiffness in his left shoulder, did not get a decision in the 7-5 loss, going 5.0 innings and allowing two runs on six hits.

Seth McClung was optioned to the minors to open a spot on the roster for Hendrickson.

4/21/2005

Hendrickson, on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder inflammation, is scheduled to throw Friday and Tuesday. If he is able to stay on a throwing schedule and ditch the discomfort, Hendrickson will be eligible to come off the DL and pitch April 29 in Baltimore.

4/20/2005

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have placed Hendrickson on the 15-day disbled list for the shoulder stiffness that has bothered him and forced him to be scratched from a Yankee Stadium start to open the week. Hendrickson said his sore shoulder felt "significantly" better after he played catch Tuesday, but the Rays chose a cautious approach by putting him on the disabled list. The move is retroactive to Thursday, meaning Hendrickson will be eligible to pitch April 29 in Baltimore.

John Webb has been recalled to take Hendrickson's place on the Rays' roster, and the rookie will start on Wednesday against Texas at Tropicana Field.

4/19/2005

Hendrickson, who had his scheduled start pushed back from Monday to Tuesday because of shoulder stiffness, now has been scratched from Tuesday's Tampa Bay game at Yankee Stadium. All that is known about Hendrickson's status at this time is that he won't pitch this week.

Look for an update as to what steps the Rays will take in handling the lefthander's shoulder stiffness. As for Tuesday, the Rays are leaning toward calling on Hideo Nomo to move up a day. Casey Fossum and Doug Waechter look like the favorites to make the spot start on Wednesday for Tampa Bay.

4/18/2005

Bothered by shoulder stiffness, Hendrickson may not be able to make his Tuesday start for Tampa Bay. The 30-year-old lefthander was scheduled to start Monday against the Yankees, but was pushed back a day to give him an extra day of rest. Rob Bell is working the Monday start at Yankee Stadium on three days' rest.

If Hendrickson can't go on Tuesday, the Rays will have to get a spot start from Casey Fossum or Doug Waechter. Fossum last pitched on Friday, working four scoreless innings in relief against Boston. Waechter worked three scoreless innings against the Red Sox on Sunday. Fossum may be the guy for Tuesday's start.
