The Chicago White Sox made a roster move Sunday, bringing right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks back from the 15-day injured list before their series finale against the Detroit Tigers.
To clear a spot for Hicks, the team sent right-hander Tyler Davis down to Triple-A Charlotte.
Hicks, who is 29 years old and in his first year with Chicago, owns a 0-1 record along with one save, three holds, and a 5.60 ERA across 20 relief outings this season. He was placed on the injured list on May 23 — with the designation backdated to May 21 — after suffering a right lat strain.
During his time on a rehab assignment with Charlotte, Hicks pitched in three games, going 0-1 with a 10.13 ERA. Over 2 2/3 innings of work, he surrendered three runs on three hits and two walks.
Davis, a 27-year-old rookie, had been called upon 22 times in relief this season before being optioned down. He finishes his time on the active roster with a 2-3 record and a 4.63 ERA, having given up 12 earned runs in 23 1/3 innings pitched. Opposing batters hit just .198 against him, going 16-for-81.
