Hicks is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks was in center field the last 10 games and had a .932 OPS with three doubles, two homers, eight runs scored and nine RBI, but he'll head to the bench Friday. Brett Gardner will slide over the center field while Mike Tauchman enters the lineup in left.

Hicks went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Rays in 10 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has reached base in each of the Yankees' last 10 games, delivering a .297/.391/.541 slash line to go with two home runs, nine RBI and eight runs. After a slow start at the dish following his return from the injured list in mid-May, Hicks looks to be dialed in again, but his rising on-base percentage hasn't translated to additional running opportunities. He's logged only two stolen-base attempts over 38 games this season.

Hicks went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and two runs in the Yankees' 10-8 win over the Blue Jays on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks chipped in on a big day for the Yankees offense with a three-run long ball off Aaron Sanchez in the fifth inning for his fifth homer of the season. He still has yet to really get going since returning from the injured list, as Hicks is slashing .204/.305/.372 through 113 at-bats. This was his first long ball since June 7, so perhaps it gets him rolling at the dish.

Hicks (shoulder) will start in center field and bat sixth Saturday against the Astros, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the previous two games due to right shoulder inflammation, Hicks received the green light to rejoin the lineup when he woke up Saturday without any soreness. With his cortisone shot having provided the desired effect, Hicks should be ready to handle an everyday role heading into the upcoming week.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Astros due to right shoulder inflammation, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks sat out Thursday's game due to the issue but doesn't plan to go on the injured list since an MRI revealed nothing more than the inflammation. He also received a cortisone shot and expects to rejoin the lineup Saturday. The 29-year-old has apparently been battling the issue for a week and a half, which could help explain his 3-for-34 slump over his past nine games. Brett Gardner is starting in center field Friday while Cameron Maybin grabs the start in left.

Hicks is not in Thursday's lineup against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks is in a rough patch at the plate, hitting .132 with one home run and one steal in his last 10 games. However, his strikeout rate (20.5 percent) and walk rate (13.6 percent) are still favorable over that span, so he should snap out of things soon. Cameron Maybin and Brett Gardner will start alongside Giancarlo Stanton.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees are likely just giving Hicks a maintenance day after he started in each of the team's last nine games and hit only .188 over that stretch. Despite his lackluster production since returning from the injured list in mid-May, Hicks is the likeliest candidate among the Yankees' outfielders to retain a full-time role once Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) and Aaron Judge (oblique) are back in action, thanks to his often elite defense. Stanton is on track to return from the IL on Tuesday, while Judge's reinstatement could come days later.

Hicks won't start the evening portion of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in the day's first game. The Yankees won't ask the injury-prone outfielder to play two games in one day, so Brett Gardner will slide to center field with Cameron Maybin starting in left.

Hicks went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has found his power stroke, homering three times in the last four games, and the surge has pushed his slash line up to .239/.325/.433. Hicks was understandably rusty after missing the first month-and-a-half of the season with back trouble, but he's still been productive since his return with four home runs, 12 runs and 15 RBI in only 18 games.
