HOUSTON — While general manager Rick Hahn said that closer Liam Hendriks probably would be out three weeks with a flexor strain in his forearm, Hendriks is still targeting July 1, which would be a few days shy of that. Hendriks will play catch Monday for the first time since going on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, a first test after treatment the last several days that has alleviated some inflammation.
Hendriks said the elbow feels “a lot better now.”
