Starting Saturday Wicks will start Saturday's game against the Pirates, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Wicks was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday and was initially expected to make his MLB debut in Sunday's series finale. Instead, the 23-year-old southpaw will swap dates with Javier Assad and make his debut a day early. Wicks logged a 3.82 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through 33 innings across seven Triple-A starts.

Impact Birch has a 3.39 ERA and 1.17 WHIP and a 69:19 K:BB across 58.1 innings with Double-A Tennessee, and he is now one step closer to making his MLB debut. The 23-year-old southpaw will likely finish the season in Triple-A, though it's possible he cracks the big leagues when rosters expand in September.
