Hicks has not pitched since September 15th and was suddenly placed on the injured list on Saturday. He is also reportedly suffering from neck spasms. 

The twenty-six-year-old has posted a 4.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 63 strikeouts over 60 innings. He holds a 3-6 record across 34 appearances. 

The former 3rd-round pick has the velocity and stuff to be an effective pitcher at the major league level but just has not been able to find success yet.
