Wick will be delayed to start camp due to an intercostal injury, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact nature and severity of the issue are not yet clear, but it's certainly not a positive sign to see a pitcher enter the year already battling injury problems. It's perhaps doubly discouraging in Wick's case, as he also had his 2020 campaign end prematurely due to a mid-September oblique strain. If healthy, he could potentially pick up some saves this season after saving four games while recording a 3.12 ERA last year, but a trip to the injured list can't be ruled out.

Wick (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday and could be done for the season, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wick, who has a 3.12 ERA and four saves this season, could be done for the rest of the year due to a left oblique strain, which manager David Ross described as a "huge loss." The move is retroactive to Thursday, and the Cubs activated Andrew Chafin (finger) from the 10-day IL to fill Wick's roster spot. With Wick sidelined, Jeremy Jeffress figures to take on a larger share of the closer's role, and Craig Kimbrel will likely be in the mix for more saves as well.

Wick (0-1) allowed one run while giving up a hit and a walk over one inning in a 1-0 loss to the Brewers on Friday. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

A Ryan Braun sacrifice fly made the difference in Friday's low-scoring affair. It was the first run Wick has allowed in his last seven appearances. Despite not recording a save since mid-August, Wick remains a high-leverage option out of the Cubs bullpen.

Wick (0-1) allowed a run on one hit and a walk to take the loss Friday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Wick got the eighth inning in a 0-0 game and set the side down in order. However, he ran into trouble when he came back out for the ninth, allowing the first two batters to reach. That got Jeremy Jeffress into the game, and he allowed the lead runner to score on a sacrifice fly. Despite the loss, Wick has been pretty solid for the Cubs, as the righty owns a 3.52 ERA and 18:5 K:BB across 15.1 innings this season. He and Jeffress should continue to share the closer role.

Wick pitched a scoreless ninth inning in a non-save situation Monday, wrapping up a 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs had dropped three straight games to St. Louis coming into Monday, so while Wick didn't pitch in a save situation, it was an important outing nonetheless. The 27-year-old reliever has been effective with a 3.38 ERA so far this season, and he'll continue to share closer duties with Jeremy Jeffress.

Wick pitched a scoreless eighth inning with two strikeouts to record a hold in Friday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

After Yu Darvish cruised through seven innings, Wick worked the eighth to earn his fourth hold of the season, and Jeremy Jeffress closed things out in the ninth. Jeffress now has five saves to lead the club, but Wick is right behind him with four saves of his own. The pair should continue to share the closer role to some degree, which caps their respective fantasy values, though both pitchers have performed well so far.

Wick earned the save against St. Louis on Tuesday, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings and allowing one walk while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Wick was called upon with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning with Chicago staked to a three-run lead. He struck out Andrew Knizner to close out the frame, then worked around a one-out walk in the ninth inning to notch the save. Wick has allowed only one run over eight frames this season while notching an 8:1 K:BB. He appears to be locked in to the closer role for the Cubs.

Wick allowed a run on two hits but was able to record the save in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Wick started the ninth inning by recording the first two outs in order, but he allowed Avisail Garcia to reach on a single. Garcia then advanced twice on defensive indifference and came home on a double by Justin Smoak. Wick was able to batten down from there and retire Omar Narvaez to end the game. The run was the first allowed this season by Wick, who has a 1.50 ERA and is 3-for-3 in save opportunities.

Wick pitched 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Monday's 2-0 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

This is the second save for Wick in the last three days, and while the team hasn't formally announced a change at closer, it appears manager David Ross is willing to try some alternatives to Craig Kimbrel, who has a 27.00 ERA through two appearances in 2020 and struggled most of last season. Both Wick and Jeremy Jeffress have picked up saves in the early going, and the lefty-righty combo figures to stay active late in games for the Cubs.

Wick earned a two-out save despite allowing a walk in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Wick entered the game in the ninth inning after Kyle Ryan allowed three runs on three hits in 0.1 innings, and he got the job done despite issuing a walk. This was Wick's first save of the season and, while Craig Kimbrel should remain the closer for the time being, Wick should continue to hold a steady role in the bullpen for the foreseeable future.
