Wicks was suppose to go for Iowa now it's Howser. The Cubs starter is listed as TBD.

I'm doing the math and thinking Wicks could be in Chicago?!? Is a starter injured?

He would be in DC, but yeah, it's definitely a possibility.  Being discussed in the game thread.

Cool.

It should be Imanga or Assad going. Hopefully no injury.

Roberts looks to be going on the DL, so Wicks could take his spot.

I'll check out the GD thread.
