EDGE Analysis

Hicks exited Sunday's win over the Orioles due to hamstring cramping, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk and a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced by a pinch runner in the top of the ninth inning. The issue likely stemmed from the heat in Baltimore on Sunday, and Hicks should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis
Hicks hasn't played since he fouled a ball off his right shin Tuesday against the Reds. He was on the field for early batting practice, per Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger, but he'll evidently need at least one more day before returning to the lineup. Joey Gallo remains the left fielder in his absence.

Hicks (shin) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis

Hicks (shin), who is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, said he's hopeful to return to the starting nine for this weekend's series with the Red Sox, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks' comments would seem to indicate he's also ruling himself out for Thursday's series finale with Cincinnati since he won't be performing any on-field activity Wednesday. The 32-year-old was forced out early in Tuesday's 4-3 loss after fouling a ball off his right shin, but he escaped with a bruise after postgame testing ruled out any structural damage. Joey Gallo will replace Hicks in the New York outfield Wednesday.
