TransactionCubs recalled LHP Jordan Wicks from the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
Wicks returns to the majors for the final weekend of the regular season with Cubs rookie standout Cade Horton heading to the injured list with a fractured rib. The 26-year-old southpaw has posted a lackluster 7.94 ERA across 11 1/3 innings over seven appearances this season at the highest level. He’ll operate in low-leverage situations if he winds up making Chicago’s playoff roster.
