The original plan was to give Hicks one more start Sunday...the Giants will accelerate those talks, possibly moving Hicks to the bullpen this weekend.
Hicks...has thrown 98 2/3 innings and is already 21 past his previous career-high. If he makes one more start, it might be just for about three innings, but after that the Giants will back him down until he's back in a short-relief role.
If the other starters can stay healthy, the move should be a boost to a bullpen that has been massively overworked. Hicks saved 32 games in his first five seasons before returning to starting.
