When Robbie Ray and Alex Cobb are ready to join the Giants’ rotation, Jordan Hicks will move to the bullpen.
San Francisco Giants’ Jordan Hicks pitches against the Toronto Blue Jays in the first inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Thursday, July 11, 2024. DENVER — The Giants will give Jordan Hicks the ball Sunday for his 20th start of the season, already more than twice his career total entering this season, but that figure won’t reach 30. More likely than not it won’t reach 25.
One option that could potentially be attractive to Melvin is utilizing Hicks in piggyback fashion with one of their starters returning from injury, who will be operating on workload restrictions, at least initially. This would allow the Giants to not only ease Ray and Cobb into the rotation but do the reverse for Hicks’ move to the bullpen.
Hicks, 27, described this season as a “building year,” and the expectation is that he would resume starting duties again in 2025. “Even he said he was feeling it a little bit,” Melvin said. “I think the break came at the right time. We were able to space out the one before, as well, and then this one. Hopefully he gets a little rejuvenated because of that. It’s been a lot for him.”
