Fantasy Impact

Hicks has been up-and-down in relief to begin the season, recording two scoreless outings in his three appearances. The right-hander continues to offer manager Will Venable a high-risk option out of the Chicago bullpen after providing more of the same in an inconsistent 2025 campaign with the San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox, posting a 1.66 WHIP and 6.95 ERA over 34 relief appearances (2-7, 58 strikeouts).

The White Sox sent right-handed prospect Gage Ziehl to the Red Sox in exchange for Hicks and right-handed prospect David Sandlin. Hicks, 29, struggled mightily in 2025, posting a 6.95 ERA in 34 outings (nine starts) between the Giants and Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

It is unlikely that Hicks will return during the regular season. With less than two weeks left and still not having thrown off the mound, he is unlikely to be ready. He has been on the injured list since September 5 with right shoulder tendinitis.
