Chicago Cubs Pitcher Faces Major Injury Setback

Things continue to go down hill for 2021 first round pick Jordan Wicks. The Chicago Cubs pitcher was at one point primed to become a permanent member of the starting rotation, but injuries have wrecked his progress and after being passed over in 2025, Wicks is now dealing with another major injury.

The left-handed pitcher was briefly shut down in February, but at the time Cubs manager Craig Counsell was cautiously optimistic that the arm issue would only sideline Wicks for a few days.
