Aaron Hicks is in the starting lineup Saturday for the first time since being scratched Wednesday with lower back stiffness. Hicks pinch-ran Thursday and got three plate appearances off the bench after Danny Santana was hurt last night. Besides the stiff back, the Twins have decided to go slowly with him since he decided to give up switch-hitting. He'll hit right-handed against Masahiro Tanaka today, which should be fun.
