Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Hicks (hamstring) will be in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener in Boston, Marc Carig of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks continues to recover from a left hamstring issue that he suffered during Monday's game against the Rays. Boone has elected to keep Hicks sidelined for the past couple games to make sure that he would be fully operational going into the playoffs and didn't want to chance a setback on the turf at Tropicana Field. Prior to Thursday's series finale, Hicks was able to run the bases without any issues.

Hicks was replaced in the following inning by Brett Gardner in center field. The injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, although the Yankees figure to proceed with caution as the regular season nears a close.

Hicks said X-rays performed on his left ankle came back negative, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks fouled a ball off the ankle during the 11th-inning at-bat in which he eventually walked off for a Yankees win. This probably lines up Hicks for a day off Sunday as New York concludes its series for the Orioles, but double-check when lineups post to confirm his status.
