2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wicks made his MLB debut in 2023 and flashed some promise. The 2021 first round pick made a total of seven starts, compiling a 4.41 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 24 strikeouts across 34.2 innings. He actually had a 3.00 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through his first six starts, but he was tagged for six runs over only 1.2 innings in his final outing of the year. It's not surprising to see young pitchers endure some up and downs, so all in all, it was a promising first taste of the majors. The righty did allow 11 walks in his 34.2 innings, and he issued another 13 free passes in 33 innings with Triple-A Iowa, so he'll need to improve in that area if he wants to take a step forward. Entering his age-24 season, Wicks should have the inside track on a rotation spot to begin the year, likely slotting in behind Justin Steele, Jameson Taillon and Kyle Hendricks. Wicks has the talent and pedigree to be a solid MLB starter, and while fantasy managers may want to wait a bit until he gets rolling, he could find himself on the radar in short order. Read Past Outlooks
Strikes out five in short start
Wicks allowed two runs on five hits over 4.1 innings and did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. He walked one and struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Wicks pitched well and continued to miss bats at a solid rate, but the Cubs decided to pull him after just 74 pitches. The young lefty logged 126 innings last season across three levels, with only 34.2 of them coming in the majors, so the team is likely just being conservative with his workload in the early going. However, his 24 strikeouts in only 17 innings this year are reason for optimism moving forward. Wicks is penciled in to start again Tuesday against the Astros.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could make MLB debut this weekend
Wicks could potentially make his big-league debut Sunday in Pittsburgh after Drew Smyly was moved back to the bullpen, per Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network.
ANALYSIS
Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer declined to comment when asked about Wicks potentially claiming the open rotation spot, but the young left-hander is the obvious candidate after being scratched from his latest start at Triple-A Iowa for non-injury reasons. The 23-year-old has a 3.82 ERA over 33 innings for Iowa since being promoted from Double-A Tennessee in late June.
