LOS ANGELES — Cubs left-hander Jordan Wicks made his 10th appearance of the season on Wednesday night in a 10-8 loss, marking his third start since returning from the 60-day injured list.
Wicks’ season was significantly impacted by two injuries—a left forearm strain and a strained right oblique—which sidelined him for much of the year. However, he made it back in time to support the Cubs while lefty starter Justin Steele is on the IL.
“It’s a tough challenge against a good lineup tonight,” manager Craig Counsell said before Wednesday’s series finale against the Dodgers. “But just go out, compete, and help us win.”
