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.

Roughed up in no-decision
Wicks did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and four walks over three innings while striking out two.
ANALYSIS
Wicks got off to a horrendous start, surrendering a leadoff homer to Shohei Ohtani to open the game, followed by three consecutive home runs with two outs in the frame. The lefty would only make it through three innings after allowing a season-high seven runs, but he still managed to avoid taking the loss thanks to a productive day on offense for Chicago. The four long balls allowed also marked a season high for Wicks, and he now carries a 7.62 ERA in September through three starts. Additionally, he's issued four walks in back-to-back outings.

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.
