Hicks is batting ninth and starting in right field Wednesday against the Orioles, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Alex Rodriguez headed to the disabled list, Carlos Beltran should man a regular spot as the designated hitter while Hicks replaces him in right field. He's off to a putrid start, batting just .077 on the season with two hits in 26 at-bats. With regular at-bats, he'll try to work back into form as someone who hit lefties to the tune of .307 last year with a .870 OPS (vs. just a .661 against righties last year).
