Cubs Calling Up Jordan Wicks
Jordan Wicks, from the minors on Saturday. Wicks, who turns 24 next week, was 7-0 with a 3.55 ERA between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa this year, also adding a 1.17 WHIP, 32 walks and 99 strikeouts in 91 1/3 total innings over 20 starts. He has a good changeup to go along with a fastball/slider combination. MLB Pipeline currently has him ranked as Chicago's No. 10 prospect. Wicks will immediately enter the Cubs' starting rotation to take the place of lefty Drew Smyly, who is being moved to the bullpen. Wicks will likely make his major-league debut on Sunday in a strong matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates, so he might be worth picking up and streaming right away in deeper fantasy leagues.
