Jordan Hicks Under The Weather, Unavailable Saturday
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals closer Jordan Hicks (illness) will not be available for the first contest of a two-series set against the division-rival Chicago Cubs in London on Saturday. Hicks is at the hotel sick. A bug is currently floating around in St. Louis' clubhouse. It remains to be seen if Hicks will be feeling any better on Sunday. If a save situation arises for the Red Birds on Saturday, it will most likely be handled by right-hander Giovanny Gallegos. The 26-year-old Hicks hasn't had many save opportunities this year for the last-place Cardinals, and he's gone 1-4 with a 4.02 ERA (3.27 FIP), 1.50 WHIP, three saves, 21 walks and 49 strikeouts in 31 1/3 relief frames. He should be available to close games again sooner than later.
