Jordan Hicks Playing Catch, Still May Not Return This Year
Jordan Hicks (shoulder) has resumed playing catch, although manager Alex Cora acknowledged that he may have already run out of time to have a chance to return this year, according to Christopher Smith of Mass Live. Hicks is trying to work his way back from tendinitis in his right shoulder. The 29-year-old began the year with the San Francisco Giants in a starting role but was eventually moved to the bullpen after struggling. He has been worse since joining Boston in a trade, going 1-2 with an 8.20 ERA (6.20 FIP), two saves, 15 strikeouts, and 12 walks in 18 2/3 innings pitched. Even if Hicks were to make it back this year, the Red Sox would think twice before including him in their bullpen on a playoff roster in October.
