Hicks went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and the 11th-inning walkoff RBI double Saturday as the Yankees won to clinch a playoff berth.

EDGE Analysis

In the game-sealing, extra-innings at-bat, he fouled a ball off his left ankle but rebounded to deliver a two-bagger down the left-field line to score Didi Gregorius and punch the Yankees' ticket to the postseason. In the second inning, Hicks took starter David Hess over the right-field fence with a laser for his 26th homer of the season. He's scorched the ball in his six-game hit streak, going 9-for-24 with two homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored. It's turning into a fine late run in an already useful regular season, during which he's complemented his career-best homer total with a .249/.369/.468 slash with 76 RBI, 89 runs and 11 stolen bases in 566 plate appearances. Stay tuned for whether Hicks' ankle is healthy for Sunday action.

Following Friday's performance, he's hit safely in five straight games, going 7-for-19 with four extra-base hits and five RBI over that stretch. Hicks owns a .247/.369/.460 slash line through 131 games in 2018.

Hicks is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks went hitless in the first two games of the series, so he'll get a day off Sunday. Brett Gardner will slide over to replace him in center field, allowing Giancarlo Stanton to take a turn in the field while Neil Walker fills the vacancy in the lineup.

Hicks went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks came through with the bases loaded twice, first on a game-tying walk in the seventh inning then adding an insurance run on a single in the eighth. The 28-year-old has already set career highs in runs, RBI and home runs, and he currently sits just .002 points away from matching last season's personal-best .847 OPS.

Hicks went 3-for-5 two runs, two RBI, a double and a home run in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks entered Saturday scuffling a bit through August with a .211/.375/.342 slash line, but came up big for the Yankees in Saturday's matinee. The 28-year-old has a .253/..368/.471 slash line with 21 home runs and 10 stolen bases on the season.

Hicks went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

Hicks went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-2 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks drove in a pair in the fifth inning on a single to center field, scoring Austin Romine and Brett Gardner. Hicks finished New York's weekend series going 3-for-11 with four RBI and two walks over three games. He owns a .249/.360/.484 slash line with 20 homers and 55 RBI through 96 games this season, and he figures to man the leadoff spot in the starting nine against lefties moving forward.

Hicks will lead off for Sunday's series finale with the Rangers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is part of a recurring trend for the Bronx Bombers as of late: the 28-year-old leads off against southpaws while Brett Gardner takes the pole position against righties. Hicks' batting average against lefties is slightly lower than that against right-handers (.229 vs. .253, respectively), but he actually has shown better power production per plate appearance against lefties like Texas starter Martin Perez. When opponents send left-handed pitchers to the mound, look for Hicks to get a bit more time at the plate during the game thanks to this favorable spot in the batting order.

Hicks is not in the lineup against the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks will retreat to the bench following 12 straight starts, during which he's hit .233 with a .958 OPS and four home runs. In his place, Shane Robinson will man center field and bat ninth.
