Jordan Wicks News: Back in majors

Updated on July 5, 2025 at 6:16am

The Cubs recalled Wicks from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

The left-hander will join the 26-man active roster in place of Jameson Taillon, who landed on the injured list Friday due to a calf strain. Wicks is a candidate to step into Chicago's rotation with Taillon out, though veteran Chris Flexen may be the favorite to fill the spot, per Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com.
