    Jordan Wicks Will Get At Least One More Start

    He’ll need to show more to be a part of the Cubs future.

    According to Bruce Levine of 670 The Score, Jordan Wicks will get another chance to prove himself this weekend.

    Wicks gave up eight runs in 4 2/3 innings in his first start, but with Matthew Boyd needing a rehab start, Wicks will toe the mound at least one more time. 

    His numbers in Triple A Iowa were stellar in 2026: 12 strikeouts in 15 innings while allowing just seven hits and one earned run. The 26-year-old lefty is running out of time to cement a role in the Cubs staff, both this season and long term. He’ll need a good performance to regain momentum against the Cardinals this weekend.

    If you can throw 85 mph (or 80 mph lefthanded) and always wanted to be a big leaguer, buy a ticket to his start, because there's a chance your name will be called out of the pen.

    Wicks feels like he's where Brown was coming into the year, where he's clearly in his head every time out and small jams almost always snowball. 

    This next start is clearly just a matter of necessity and I'm not expecting great things, but I do think he should stay up after and slide into long relief.  Rebuild that confidence, slowly increase leverage, and hopefully a month or two from now we'll consider him back on track.
