The Giants placed Jordan Hicks on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation.

Fantasy Impact

Hicks has thrown a career-high in innings this season. He had been dealing with discomfort last week.

Jordan Hicks secured his first save of the season in a 5-3 victory over the White Sox, allowing two hits in a scoreless inning of work.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not recording any strikeouts, Hicks managed to keep the White Sox from scoring, which was crucial in preserving the Giants' lead. This performance slightly improves his season ERA and WHIP, but his low strikeout rate (7.9 K/9) continues to be a concern for fantasy managers looking for dominant relief options. Given his modest season stats and the lack of consistent high-leverage opportunities, Hicks remains a risky fantasy play primarily in deeper leagues or formats that heavily reward saves.

The Giants have announced that Erik Miller will start in Jordan Hicks’ scheduled spot Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

The Giants have planned to move Hicks to the bullpen and he could pitch out of the bullpen Sunday. The 27-year-old has a 4.01 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP in 20 starts this season.

Jordan Hicks will make his final start on Sunday with the Giants before he is moved to the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Hicks will likely be moved to a long relief role in the Giants bullpen. Alex Cobb could be activated from the injured list to re-join the Giants rotation on Wednesday.
