US EditionJordan Hicks, the First Piece of the Rafael Devers Trade, Activated by Red Sox
- The Boston Red Sox activated right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, acquired June 15 from the San Francisco Giants in the Rafael Devers trade, ahead of their Monday home series against Cincinnati.
- The trade sent Devers to the Giants for a four-player return, with Hicks recovering from right toe inflammation after Tommy John surgery last July and making two rehab outings with Triple-A Worcester.
- Hicks recently pitched a scoreless fifth inning with an average sinker velocity of 99.3 mph, striking out two batters swinging on a four-seam fastball and a splitter during Worcester’s 4-2 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
- The 28-year-old admitted he was caught off guard by the trade, mentioning he hadn’t realized a player could be traded while on the injured list, and showed enthusiasm about taking on the role of a bullpen setup pitcher to support closer Aroldis Chapman.
- The Red Sox activated Hicks to strengthen a bullpen that struggled this season, expecting him to provide a key boost and fulfill a high-leverage relief role in their upcoming series and beyond.
