I always hate to see these kind of injuries but it is part of the game. Hope the kid can bounce back.
“We’re seeing so many young kids come up, they throw 95, 98, as hard as they can for a full season and then they come back and their arm’s gone,” said then-A’s catcher Stephen Vogt back in 2017. “Our bodies are not designed to withstand that much velocity. If you do, you’re a freak.”

From Closer Monkey, who deserves much credit for following these situations so closely...
St. Louis Cardinals – The Cardinals announced that Jordan Hicks has a torn UCL and will likely miss the rest of the season. John Gant and Carlos Martinez are the two relievers who could inherit the job. The Cardinals’ president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said that Gant would be the one to step in to the role, so we’ve shifted our expectations and will give him the nod for now, but will see how the Cardinals adapt in the week ahead before we consider removing the asterisk.
Updated hierarchy: *Gant | Martinez | Miller.
* = closer-by-committee"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

A sad trombone for Jordan Hicks. Reports surfaced on Monday about his injury and the MRI revealed a torn UCL ligament. He will likely undergo surgery to repair the ligament so his owners should plan accordingly. John Gant should assume primary setup duties with Carlos Martinez shifting to the primary closer role. This also shifts Andrew Miller into potential periphery save chances as well due to usage patterns. There’s no word on if the Cardinals will look to bolster the bullpen via trade, much will depend on how the Wild Card and division races evolve for St. Louis going forward12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).

Guys...all the news says Martinez is the closer.
Carlos Martinez will serve as the Cardinals' closer with Jordan Hicks out, GM John Mozeliak confirmed.

ROTOWORLD: Carlos Martinez will serve as the Cardinals' closer with Jordan Hicks out, GM John Mozeliak confirmed. That was the assumption, but it's nice to have confirmation. The Cardinals could always trade for a ninth-inning option later, but Martinez should be decent enough in the role.12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).
