Blue Jays get reliever Jordan Hicks in trade with Cardinals
TORONTO – Right-handed reliever Jordan Hicks was acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Right-handed pitching prospects Adam Kloffenstein and Sem Robberse were sent to St. Louis in return.
Righty reliever Mitch White was designated for assignment to make space on Toronto’s 40-man roster.

Hicks (1-6) has a 3.67 earned-run average this season with eight saves and 59 strikeouts over 41 2/3 innings pitched.
White (0-1) has a 7.11 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 12 2/3 innings this season.
