St. Louis Cardinals closer Jordan Hicks has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow.
The Cardinals announced the injury Monday but did not disclose whether Hicks will undergo surgery, saying that they are “determining the next course of action.”
Hicks was removed from Saturday’s 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels in the ninth inning after 1 1/3 innings.
The 22-year-old has thrown 211 pitches at least 100 mph this season, over 100 more than the next closest player — the Miami Marlins‘ Tayron Guerrero with 103.
Hicks is 2-2 with a 3.14 ERA and 14 saves this season.
