Hicks has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain but will not be placed on the disabled list, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports.

The Yankees do not need Hicks' roster spot with rosters expanding Sept. 1, but it sounds like he would have been a candidate for a disabled list stint at any other point this season, so it could be a few days before he is able to play again.
