White Sox' Jordan Hicks is back in the bullpen after a challenging season in the Giants' rotation. The 29-year-old, once a standout starter for the Cardinals, is now looking to reclaim his former glory. After a miserable season with the Giants, where he struggled with a 6.95 ERA, Hicks was traded to the Red Sox and then to the White Sox. Despite his recent struggles, Hicks remains optimistic, stating, 'I just want to do what’s best for the team at the moment.'
Meanwhile, the White Sox are also welcoming new center fielder Luisangel Acuna, who is acclimating well to his new environment. Acuna, acquired in a trade with the Mets, is eager to contribute to the team's success. In his first game, he went 2-for-3 with a homer, showing his offensive prowess. Additionally, left-hander Sean Newcomb is one of nine pitchers being stretched out by the Sox, as they prepare for a five-man starting staff. Newcomb, a nine-year veteran, is versatile and open to both starting and relieving roles, bringing valuable experience to the team.
