CHICAGO - Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks announced on Sunday that he has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which is a form of cancer.

"Hearing the word ‘Cancer’ came as a shock to my wife and I, as it does to millions of families each year," Hendriks wrote on social media. "However, I am resolved to embrace the fight and overcome this new challenge with the same determination I have used when facing other obstacles in my life."

Hendriks said he plans to start on treatment on Monday.

"I am confident that I will make a full recovery and be back on the mound as soon as possible," he said.
