The White Sox reinstated Hicks (lat) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
The right-hander landed on the shelf about a month ago due to a right lat strain, and he's ready to rejoin the big-league bullpen after three rehab appearances at Triple-A. Hicks has struggled with his control this year and has a 5.60 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and 15:17 K:BB across 17.2 innings.
