Jordan Wicks

Jordan Wicks delivered a mixed performance in the Cubs' 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings. Despite not factoring into the decision, Wicks's outing was a slight improvement over his troubling start to the season, marked by a high 5.68 ERA and 1.89 WHIP. His impressive 13.7 K/9 continues to be a silver lining, suggesting potential for fantasy relevance if he can find more consistency and control. However, his elevated .408 BABIP indicates some bad luck, which might regress to the mean. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next starts for signs of adjustment and improvement.

Jordan Wicks struggled, surrendering four earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six over four innings in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a troubling trend for Wicks, allowing five or more hits in each of his first three starts while also walking at least three in two of those contests for the Cubs. Despite solid strikeout totals in each start to begin the season, fantasy managers will need the left-hander to limit damage over his next few starts before being able to trust the 24-year-old confidently.

With a 1.99 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP on the season, Wicks continues to impress, showcasing his ability to limit hits and walks while keeping runs off the board.

Fantasy Impact

Though his strikeout numbers are not eye-popping, his solid performance and consistent results make him a valuable fantasy option moving forward, although he did pitch to a 4.21 FIP in seven Triple-A starts so we should see some regression moving forward.

Jordan Wicks allowed two earned runs and no walks in 6 2/3 innings against the Giants on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

With a solid 2.16 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through his first three MLB starts, Wicks continues to gain attention and has become an interesting fantasy option for the final stretch.

Jordan Wicks allowed five hits, three walks, and one earned run over five innings pitched Friday. He tallied three strikeouts and earned his second win of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Wicks currently has a 1.10 WHIP, 1.80 ERA, and 12 strikeouts over 10 innings pitched this season. The 24-year-old will likely remain in the Cubs’ rotation until the end of the season.
