The Chicago Cubs signed three-time All-Star right-hander Liam Hendriks to a minor league contract, The Athletic reported on Wednesday.
Multiple other outlets confirmed the news on Hendriks, who is expected to report to Triple-A Iowa.
Hendriks, 37, had been with the Minnesota Twins during spring training before being granted his release when informed that he would not make the final roster.
He went 0-2 with a 6.59 ERA in 14 appearances out of the Boston Red Sox bullpen last season.
An American League All-Star in 2019, 2021 and 2022, Hendriks led the league with 38 saves for the Chicago White Sox in 2021.
Hendriks missed part of the 2023 season while recovering from treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He missed the entire 2024 season following Tommy John surgery.
He is 33-36 with 116 saves and a 3.88 ERA in 490 career games (44 starts) with the Twins (2011-13), Kansas City Royals (2014), Toronto Blue Jays (2014-15), Oakland Athletics (2016-20), White Sox (2021-23) and Red Sox (2025).
