Rowan Wick Stats

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Rowan Wick recorded four outs to pick up his fourth save of the season on Tuesday against the Cardinals. Wick seems to be the preferred option to collect saves, but manager David Ross has yet to officially give him the title of closer. Craig Kimbrel entered the year as the closer and despite back-to-back scoreless outings has struggled overall. Wick remains the guy to own if you are looking for saves and it seems like hed need a bad outing or two to lose the gig.

Manager David Ross made it clear prior to Fridays contest against Milwaukee: right-hander Rowan Wick is not his only ninth-inning option. Wicks three saves lead the Cubs at this point, but Ross was succinct, saying, I havent named anybody to the closers gig. The most likely option to supplant Wick would be Craig Kimbrel, although it appears that until he reels off multiple appearances of dominant work, he wont be getting his role back. Jeremy Jeffress and Kyle Ryan have also earned saves and could continue to make up a collaborative closers effort moving forward. Aggressive owners can nab Wick, but theyll do so knowing that he isnt locked in to receive all of the save chances.
