Aaron Hicks (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the disabled list Tuesday. This confirms a report by Jim Mandelaro of the Democrat and Chronicle. Hicks is expected to replace Josh Willingham, who is likely headed to the disabled list with a knee injury. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since June 9 with a left hamstring strain and hit .190 (4-for-21) over six rehab games with Triple-A Rochester.
