Hicks is out of the lineup against the Astros on Thursday, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will receive a standard day off following six straight starts as manager Aaron Boone trots out an outfield of Giancarlo Stanton, Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge for the series finale. Over the course of 18 games this year, Hicks is hitting .230/.364/.410 with two home runs, 11 RBI and three stolen bases.

Hicks is out of the lineup against the Twins on Wednesday, Coley Harvey of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will get the day off following eight straight starts. Manager Aaron Boone elected to give Gary Sanchez a rest from behind the plate as Wednesday's designated hitter, shifting Giancarlo Stanton to a spot in the outfield. Over 11 games this season, Hicks is hitting .270/.426/.459 with two home runs and six RBI.

Hicks will start in center field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Blue Jays, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Brett Gardner is receiving the day off with a southpaw in Jaime Garcia on the mound for Toronto, so the switch-hitting Hicks will assume leadoff duties for the first time this season. Hicks destroyed lefties to the tune of a .312/.389/.514 line (140 wRC+) last season and should make for a popular DFS target Sunday.

Hicks went 1-for-3 with a run scored and walk in Thursday's win over Toronto. He was also caught stealing.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from injury April 12, Hicks has three extra-base hits and five walks in 22 plate appearances. His plate discipline was the driving factor behind his strong campaign last season, so it's good to see him being selective at the dish so far in 2018. Barring injury, Hicks should have ample opportunity to produce RBI while batting behind the trio of Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez, meaning their is some lofty upside for the former first-rounder.

Hicks went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in the Yankees' 8-6 win over the Tigers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-4 in his return from the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday, Hicks tallied a pair of homers against Detroit starter Mike Fiers, including an inside-the-park round-tripper on a deep fly ball that hit off the wall and bounced into no-man's land away from the Tigers' outfielders. He looks healthy, so feel free to plug Hicks back into your lineup as he looks to build on a 2017 season that saw him slash .266/.372/.475 in 301 at-bats.

Hicks will bat sixth and play center against the Tigers on Friday, Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks was activated from the 10-day DL prior to Thursday's game, during which he went 0-for-4 with one strikeout while serving as the Yankees' designated hitter. He will slide back into his primary position of center field for Friday's series opener in Detroit, which allows Giancarlo Stanton to return to the DH spot.

Hicks (ribs) was activated from the disabled list and will act as the designated hitter for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Hicks will return to game action, but the Yankees will ease him back into the lineup by keeping him off the field Thursday. He should resume regular center field duties relatively soon.

Hicks (ribs) may be back with the Yankees on Thursday depending on his status following Wednesday's minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has been on the disabled list with a right intercostal muscle strain since March 30, though he was able to finally hit the field with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. During that contest, he went 1-for-3 and will look to make it through a second-straight outing without experiencing any problems. Even though the Yankees outfield depth is extremely thin at the moment, it still seems unlikely that Hicks would be rushed back to play a third straight day during Thursday's finale in Boston instead of getting the night off and joining the team in Detroit.

Hicks (ribs) went 1-for-3 in his first minor-league rehab game at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees have two games remaining in their current three-game set with the Red Sox, and it's possible that Hicks will be cleared for activation from the DL by the end of the week when the team heads to Detroit for a weekend series with the Tigers.
