Manager Aaron Boone said after Saturday's win over the Orioles that Hicks (wrist) will be placed on the injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team was hoping the 31-year-old would be able to avoid the injured list despite tearing a sheath that holds a tendon in his left wrist, but it's not a major surprise he still ended up on the shelf. Boone previously said it's possible Hicks would receive surgery, so his return timeline remains unclear while the next step in the recovery is determined. Brett Gardner should see increased time in center field for the Yankees in the meantime.

Hicks (wrist) is not starting Saturday's game against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees have expressed hope that Hicks can return to the lineup this weekend, but that will not occur Saturday. A trip to the injured list remains a possibility for the switch-hitting center fielder, who's hitting a dreadful .194 on the season.

Hicks tore a sheath that holds a tendon in his left wrist and has already begun a medication regimen, but he won't immediately be placed on the injured list, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old is out of the lineup Friday against the Orioles, but there's apparently still a chance Hicks can retake the field this weekend. It seems to be a "wait and see" situation at this point, since a trip to the injured list and surgery are also being considered.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will get what looks like a maintenance day after he returned from a shin injury to start in Wednesday's 1-0 win, during which he went 0-for-2 with an RBI. Brett Gardner will spell Hicks in center field Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks' absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays is due to a bruised right shin.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks fouled a ball off his shin Sunday against the Nationals and evidently isn't ready to play even after Monday's off day. He was originally listed as the center fielder before being scratched, with Brett Gardner sliding to center and Clint Frazier entering the lineup in left. As long as the issue doesn't turn out to be anything worse than a bruise, he shouldn't be in line for a lengthy absence.

Hicks was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The reason for the change is not yet clear, though it's potentially related to the foul ball he hit off his shin Sunday. Clint Frazier entered the lineup in his absence, starting in left field and pushing Brett Gardner to center.

Hicks (leg) is starting in center field and batting fifth Friday against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
