Jordan Hicks Earns Quality Start, Win In Season Debut Monday
1 day agoSan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jordan Hicks looked sharp in his first start of the season Monday, helping his team to a 7-2 win over the Astros. The 28-year-old tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and two walks with six strikeouts. Hicks had a strong first half in 2024 with a 3.79 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP while returning to a rotation role, but his poor second half forced him to end the season in the bullpen. Hicks' heavy sinker has carried fantasy appeal throughout his career, and his first start against a solid Astros lineup could spark interest once again. He is widely available and should have a good chance to string together another solid outing in his next scheduled start at home against the Mariners, making him worth a look in at least deeper leagues.
