2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eyebrows were raised when the Giants handed Hicks a four-year, $44 million contract last offseason with the intent of inserting him into their rotation after the hard-throwing righty had spent virtually all of his first five seasons in the bullpen. For the first two months, it was looking like a shrewd move, with Hicks collecting a 2.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB over 63.1 innings in 12 starts through the end of May. Then, the wheels fell off. Over his next eight starts, Hicks posted a 6.37 ERA while walking 22 over 35.1 frames. He was a little better after being moved to relief but then made two different trips to the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Hicks hitting a wall was predictable given that he set a new career high in innings before the All-Star break. Theoretically, he should be better equipped to handle a large workload in 2025 with an expected move back to the rotation. However, there are lots of unknowns, so fantasy managers might be wise to take a wait-and-see approach. Read Past Outlooks
Chased early in loss
Hicks (1-5) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering five runs on seven hits and a walk over two-plus innings as the Giants fell 8-7 to the Diamondbacks. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
Three of the hits off Hicks went for extra bases, including a Ketel Marte solo shot in the first inning and a Lourdes Gurriel double to lead off the third that helped chase the right-hander from the game. It was Hicks' shortest outing of the season after he'd given San Francisco at least five innings in five straight trips to the mound, and Marte's blast was the first long ball he'd served up since April 6. Hicks will carry a 6.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB through 45.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Royals.

Hicks finally stayed healthy all year after putting on some weight last offseason to help improve his durability. The hard-throwing right-hander pitched 65.2 innings across 65 appearances between St. Louis and Toronto, both being his most since 2018. Hicks racked up a career-high 81 strikeouts with a personal-best 28.4 K% thanks to his 100.1-mph sinker, devastating sweeper (59.5% whiff rate) and occasional four-seam fastball. The 27-year-old was second in the league with 470 pitches thrown at 100 mph or greater. He induced groundballs at a 58.3% clip, and while he improved his walk rate, it was still well below average at 11.1%. Hicks recorded 12 saves last season and now has 32 for his career. However, the Giants plan to try Hicks as a traditional starter after signing him to a four-year, $44 million deal this winter. A return to high-leverage relief duty is always on the table if it doesn't pan out.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Five teams connected
Hicks' market is heating up, with the Phillies, Cubs, Rangers, Astros and Yankees all representing potential landing spots, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Heyman also adds that some teams are considering deploying Hicks as a starter. The flamethrowing righty has previously professed a desire to start again, but ultimately the odds of him getting that shot seem low. Hicks is just 27 and is arguably the best free-agent reliever available outside of Josh Hader, so it's no surprise his market is robust.
