Jordan Hicks, the First Piece of the Rafael Devers Trade, Activated by Red Sox

  • On Friday, Red Sox reliever Jordan Hicks topped out at 100.1 mph in a scoreless fifth inning during his second rehab outing at Worcester, with activation expected when the Reds visit Boston Monday.
  • In the aftermath of the June 15 blockbuster trade, the Red Sox acquired reliever Jordan Hicks from the Giants, who had been sidelined with right toe inflammation and made two rehab appearances at Triple-A Worcester.
  • Pitch-Tracking shows Hicks averaged 99.3 mph with his sinker, maintaining triple-digit velocity as a Cardinals reliever, with manager Alex Cora emphasizing caution before activation.
  • The Red Sox activated Jordan Hicks before Monday's game, optioned Zack Kelly, and assigned Hicks as the primary setup man to closer Aroldis Chapman.
  • More broadly, the Red Sox aim to unlock Hicks’s velocity potential, amid fan skepticism over trades like Betts and Devers, seeking a crucial bullpen boost.
