Jordan Hicks has been placed on the 15-day IL due to right shoulder inflammation, worsening the Giants' already overworked bullpen challenges and complicating their pitching plans.
Hicks' initial transition from reliever to starter showed promising results with a 2.70 ERA over 12 starts, but his sharp decline to a 6.37 ERA in the latter half of the season raised concerns.
Concerns surrounding Hicks’ health have been noted for some time, with shoulder discomfort intensifying, which may lead the Giants to prioritize his long-term recovery over a rushed return.
The Giants are facing significant pitching issues this season, compounded by the injuries of both Jordan Hicks and Robbie Ray, leaving the team's strategies severely impacted.
