Cardinals Activate Pitcher

He's back just in time. 

The St. Louis Cardinals have activated pitcher Jordan Hicks from the 15-day injured list. 

Matthew Liberatore will start today's regular-season series finale, corresponding move TBA.

As expected, Jordan Hicks will be activated as well.

Both corresponding moves will be ineligible to be added to any roster for the next 15 days (barring injuries) #STLCards

Hicks is back in time for Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates and will likely also be on the Cardinals' active roster for the upcoming NL Wild Card Series. 

Hicks has missed the past three weeks due to arm fatigue. 

The twenty-six-year-old flamethrower has posted an underwhelming 4.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 63 strikeouts over 60 innings of work this season. In 34 appearances, he's made eight starts and holds a 3-6 record. 

Hicks has plenty of potential but just hasn't been able to put it together at the major league level yet.
