Manager Aaron Boone said Hicks dealt with cramping in his legs during Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Astros, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cramps didn't result in Hicks being pulled from the contest, but he appeared to be moving gingerly around the bases at various points during the game. Though the Yankees saw their five-game winning streak come to an end, Hicks did his part to keep the offense humming by going 3-for-3 with a walk, RBI and a run. Hicks can be viewed as day-to-day for the time being, but he should be good to go for Friday's series opener against the Nationals.

Manager Aaron Boone said Hicks is out of the Yankees' lineup Sunday against Cleveland due to back tightness, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees don't seem too concerned about the injury, as Boone noted that Hicks is still expected to be available off the bench for the series finale after receiving treatment on his back earlier Sunday. With solo home runs in consecutive games, Hicks had been starting to show signs of waking up from his season-long slumber before the back issue cropped up.

Hicks went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
All the Yankees' offense came on a pair of fifth-inning solo shots off Shane Bieber, but it was just enough offense for Gerrit Cole and the bullpen. Hicks appears to be heating up after a sluggish start to the year at the plate, and the 31-year-old has homered in consecutive games while reaching base in five straight.

Hicks, who is not in Tuesday's lineup against Atlanta, may also sit out Wednesday while he works on mechanical adjustments, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering he is hitting .160 with a .236 OBP through 50 at-bats, it's not surprising to hear that he is tinkering with some things behind the scenes. In the meantime, Brett Gardner will man center field for the Yankees.
