Jordan Hicks Fantasy Stats

The Chicago White Sox are set to acquire right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks and right-handed pitching prospect David Sandlin from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Gage Ziehl, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Cotillo characterizes the trade as a "salary move" for Boston, as the White Sox are reportedly absorbing the majority of the money still owed to Hicks. Boston acquired Hicks from the San Francisco Giants as part of the return for infielder Rafael Devers in the middle of the 2025 season. Hicks has worked as both a starter and a reliever in his career to this point, so he gives Chicago some innings-eating versatility. However, the 29-year-old struggled across 67 1/3 innings split between Boston and San Francisco in 2025, posting a 6.95 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and 58 strikeouts. Sandlin is a 24-year-old pitching prospect who split the 2025 season between Boston's Double-A and Triple-A affiliates. Across 106 innings pitched (32 games) in the Minors last year, he posted a 9-6 record with a 4.50 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 107 strikeouts. Sandlin has experience as both a starter and a reliever in his pro career, so he profiles as a versatile depth piece for Chicago.

Boston Red Sox right-hander 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.

The Boston Red Sox will place right-hander Jordan Hicks (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder issue and recall lefty Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. The injury may bring about the end of Hicks' season, according to Cotillo. The Red Sox acquired the 28-year-old reliever as part of their return from the San Francisco Giants for star slugger Rafael Devers in June, but Hicks has fallen flat with his new team. Hicks has logged 18 1/3 innings over 21 appearances as a member of the Red Sox and pitched to a 6.95 ERA with a 1.98 WHIP, 15 strikeouts, and 12 walks. He gave up four earned runs on four hits in a third of an inning in an 8-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. That could go down as his last appearance of 2025.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Jordan Hicks was called upon to hold a three-run lead versus the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Normally, Aroldis Chapman serves as the closer in Boston, but he was used in the eighth inning to face James Wood. It wasn't a perfect outing from Hicks, but he was able to get the job done. He walked Brady House who would come around to score and make it a two run game. Hicks was able to get out of the jam and secure his first save of the season. He allowed one hit, one run, one walk, and struck out one batter on Sunday. He's posting an ugly 6.49 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and 45/22 K/BB ratio across 51.1 innings this season. Hicks has the stuff to be a good high leverage reliever, but we'll see how the Red Sox decide to use him. He figures to split up some of the save chances with Chapman, but it might not be enough to warrant rostering Hicks in most fantasy formats.

The Boston Red Sox announced on Monday that they reinstated right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe) from the 15-day injured list and optioned right-hander Zack Kelly to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Hicks will be making his debut with the Red Sox when he gets into a game after being acquired from the San Francisco Giants on June 15 in the Rafael Devers deal. The 28-year-old hard-throwing hurler was demoted from a starting role to a relief role with the Giants before the trade and is expected to remain in a relief role with the Red Sox now that he's healthy. Hicks has the stuff to be used in a high-leverage relief role, but the BoSox will most likely ease him in as a middle reliever. He went 1-5 with a 6.47 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 43:20 K:BB in 48 2/3 innings over 13 outings (nine starts) with the Giants and won't have a ton of fantasy appeal unless he eventually returns to a starting role.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe) was throwing gas in his most recent rehab outing with Triple-A Worcester. According to MassLive's Christopher Smith, he hit 100.1 mph while recording a scoreless inning with two strikeouts, allowing one hit and one walk. He could be activated as soon as Monday. Acquired from the San Francisco Giants as part of the Rafael Devers trade, Hicks has yet to pitch for the Red Sox while rehabbing a toe injury. With Hicks' move back to the bullpen, he could be an interesting addition for fantasy managers. In his last full season as a reliever in 2023, Hicks recorded 12 saves and 81 strikeouts across 65 innings pitched. He's likely behind Aroldis Chapman in the pecking order for saves in Boston, but could be next in line should Chapman falter.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe) struggled Sunday in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Worcester. Hicks, working as an opener for Worcester, was unable to get through an inning. He recorded two outs and allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk. He was then lifted after 23 pitches, only 10 of which were strikes. Hicks, who's working back from inflammation in his right big toe, figures to make at least one more appearance with Worcester before joining the Red Sox. When he does get the call to Boston, he'll be making his debut with the club. The Red Sox acquired Hicks from the San Francisco Giants on June 15 as part of a trade centering on Rafael Devers. Hicks divided his time with the Giants this season between the rotation and bullpen. He's likely to work in relief for the Red Sox.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. If all goes well, Hicks will debut with the Red Sox on a homestand that runs from June 27-July 2. Hicks joined the Red Sox last weekend as part of their return from the San Francisco Giants for star slugger Rafael Devers. The 28-year-old hurler last pitched June 1 and then went on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his right big toe. Hicks has worked most of his career as a reliever, but he opened this year as a starter before the Giants demoted him to their bullpen. He has recorded a bloated 6.47 ERA (3.85 xERA) with 43:20 K:BB in 48 2/3 innings this season. It appears the Red Sox will use Hicks in relief. "We're absolutely excited about bringing Jordan Hicks, a dominant late-inning reliever, into our mix," general manager Craig Breslow said when Boston acquired Hicks.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe), who is currently on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his right big toe, is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Thursday. "I'm not sure what's next for him. If anything a rehab assignment and then hopefully he'll be with us," manager Alex Cora said. The 28-year-old has been out since early this month and will need a minor-league rehab assignment before he makes his Red Sox debut, but he should be back before the end of the month, barring a setback. Before being acquired in a trade from the Giants, Hicks had been demoted to a relief role in San Francisco after posting a 6.55 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 45 1/3 innings in nine starts. There have been no indications that he'll be moved back to a starting role in Beantown, meaning he'll likely remain on the waiver wire in mixed fantasy leagues.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jordan Hicks (toe) is part of a massive trade with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Hicks is headed to Boston along with Kyle Harrison, James Tibbs, and Jose Bello in exchange for slugger Rafael Devers. Hicks was recently placed on the 15-day injured list with right toe inflammation. Before that, Hicks posted a 6.47 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, with 43 strikeouts over 48.2 innings of work. The Hicks experiment didn't work out in San Francisco. They signed him to a four-year deal in 2024, so the Red Sox will be on the hook through 2027. He has a good track record and has worked as both a starter and reliever in his career. We'll see how the Red Sox decide to use him once he's healthy enough to pitch again.
