Secures three-inning save
Wicks allowed three hits and struck out four without walking a batter over three shutout innings to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis
Wicks' long-relief performance ensured the Cubs' bullpen would be well-rested heading into the wild-card round. Wicks has kept runs off the board in three of his last four outings dating back to Aug. 26, though his struggles in limited action earlier in the year led to him finishing the regular season with a 6.28 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over 14.1 innings across eight relief appearances. It's unclear if he'll earn a spot on the Cubs' wild-card roster.

Back with MLB club
The Cubs recalled Wicks from the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.
Analysis
Wicks will step onto the active roster in place of Cade Horton (rib), who was placed on the injured list. Wicks has a 7.94 ERA in 11.1 innings of relief with Chicago, and he posted a 3.67 ERA in 76 innings for Triple-A Iowa.
