Cubs option Jordan Wicks, recall Tyler Ferguson from Triple-A Iowa

On June 2, 2026, the Chicago Cubs optioned pitcher Jordan Wicks to Triple-A Iowa after two unsuccessful starts this season. This move comes ahead of the potential return of pitchers Edward Cabrera and Matthew Boyd. Right-hander Tyler Ferguson has been recalled to take Wicks' spot on the roster. Ferguson, recently acquired from the Oakland Athletics, will provide bullpen support. His performance at Iowa this season includes 7.2 innings pitched with a 3.52 ERA. While his time with the Cubs is expected to be brief, he is set to face his former team if included in a game this week.
