The Phillies designated Hicklen for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies selected Rafael Lantigua to the active roster Tuesday to make up for the loss of Edmundo Sosa (groin), which will ultimately force Hicklen to be pushed off the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has spent the vast majority of the season serving as organizational depth at Triple-A, slashing .224/.319/.409 across 386 plate appearances.

The Tigers traded Hicklen to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for cash, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old lost his place on Detroit's 40-man roster Wednesday to make room for Troy Melton, but Hicklen will reclaim a 40-man roster spot with his new club. He'll remain in Triple-A, however, where he's slashed .227/.335/.394 across 254 plate appearances.

The Tigers designated Hicklen for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Troy Melton, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his first MLB start Wednesday against the Pirates. The 29-year-old outfielder appeared in one game for Detroit in May but has otherwise spent the bulk of the 2025 campaign at Toledo, slashing .227/.335/.394 with eight home runs and 18 stolen bases over 254 plate appearances.

Hicklen (hamstring) was assigned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday and started in right field in the club's 10-5 win over Louisville, going 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs.
EDGE Analysis
Hicklen returned to action for Toledo for the first time since May 11, after a tight hamstring kept him out of commission for a couple of weeks. Though he was never placed on the 7-day injured list, Hicklen was assigned to High-A West Michigan over the weekend for what essentially amounted to a rehab assignment. Hicklen received the green light to rejoin Toledo after playing in two games for West Michigan.

Hicklen was transferred from Triple-A Toledo to High-A West Michigan on Saturday while working through hamstring tightness, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicklen will avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list, but the 29-year-old outfielder will move down to High-A for extra at-bats and is expected to return to Toledo next week. Hicklen is slashing .230/.358/.290 with 13 steals, one home run and four RBI in 120 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

The Tigers optioned Hicklen to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hicklen picked up the first two hits of his major-league career Thursday in Colorado but finds himself back in the minors a day later. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for John Brebbia's (triceps) return from the 15-day injured list.

Hicklen went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in an 11-1 win over the Rockies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The hits were Hicklen's first as a big-leaguer, with this being his 10th game in the majors over parts of three seasons. This was his Tigers debut after he failed to appear in a game during a brief stint in the majors in April. The Tigers are dealing with injuries in the outfield, but it's unclear if Hicklen will get a longer look. He started in center field in the nightcap of Thursday's doubleheader, but that's been where Javier Baez has been playing -- and excelling -- in recent weeks.

The Tigers recalled Hicklen from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hicklen didn't appear in a game during his last stint with the big-league club in April, but he'll get an opportunity to make his season debut in center field during the second game of Thursday's twin bill against Colorado. The 29-year-old has slashed .242/.368/.305 through 114 plate appearances in Triple-A and remains in search of his first career major-league hit.
