Chicago Cubs first baseman Trey Mancini wanted to help out Chicago White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks after the All-Star closer was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in early January.
Mancini, who overcame colon cancer in 2020 while playing with the Baltimore Orioles, reached out to Hendriks to discuss treatment.
"I wanted him to know I have some advice, at least on what makes you feel better during chemo and how to get through it a little bit better," Mancini said, according to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune.
Mancini missed the entire pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign due to his treatment.
White Sox general manager Rick Hahn has already said the White Sox won't have any updates on Hendriks' playing status before Opening Day.
