MILWAUKEE –– Getting back on the mound was a tedious process for right-hander Rowan Wick as he dealt with a serious intercostal/left oblique injury that ended his 2020 season. Despite a few setbacks and the 11-month road to recovery, Wick has found himself right back where he was a year ago.
The Cubs’ right-hander was one of manager David Ross’ high-leverage options in the bullpen last season and with much turnover since the trade deadline, he’s returned to a similar role.
“Definitely some things that I’m doing with the trainers that make me feel a lot better than just kind of working my way through the rehab processes,” Wick said in a recent interview.
