Bob Melvin makes heartbreaking Jordan Hicks comment with icon absent from US Open…

The San Francisco Giants’ pitching staff suffered two setbacks on Tuesday with left-hander Robbie Ray and right-hander Jordan Hicks being placed on the 15-day injured list.

Ray is dealing with a left hamstring strain, while Hicks has inflammation in his right shoulder. Ray’s injured list stint is retroactive to Monday.

Ray had pitched in the Giants’ 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday but had to leave before the fourth inning because of hamstring tightness.

“I think he caught it at the right time and didn’t try to push it, but hamstrings are hamstrings,” said San Francisco manager Bob Melvin before the Giants’ game against the Milwaukee Brewers. “You’re probably looking at a minimum of a couple of weeks.”

Melvin mentioned that Hicks has been struggling with shoulder issues for a while.

Hicks, who signed a four-year, $44 million deal with the Giants in the offseason, started the year in the Giants’ rotation but was moved back to the bullpen earlier this summer after mostly being a reliever before.
