Jordan Hicks accepts move to bullpen but hopes to return to Giants rotation

Jordan Hicks is accepting his move to the San Francisco Giants bullpen but wants to return to the rotation. Hicks signed a four-year, $44 million deal with the Giants during the offseason with the intent of starting after primarily spending his first few seasons as a reliever. The 28-year-old right-hander was 1-5 with a 6.55 ERA in nine starts and the Giants decided to move Hicks to the bullpen in the middle of the season, as they did last year.
