Hendriks (elbow) was cleared to face live hitters Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
After spending the past month throwing two bullpen sessions every week, Hendriks has finally received the green light to throw live batting practice. The plan is for him to throw his first session of live BP on Tuesday at Triple-A Worcester. Once he completes two additional sessions, the Red Sox will likely send him out on a rehab assignment.
