Hicks (hamstring) is expected to rejoin the Twins on Friday for their series against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks has hit safely in each game during his rehab assignment and cranked a three-run shot at Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday. He won't be back for Thursday's series finale against Chicago, but a return to the lineup against the Astros should be on the horizon.
