Hicks (oblique) was able to take batting practice Saturday for the first time since landing on the disabled list, Dan Martin of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The switch-hitter took swings from both sides of the plate, and he's slated to do the same again Sunday before heading out on a rehab assignment Wednesday. Hicks is expected to need about a week with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before being activated, and at that point, he could displace Clint Frazier for regular playing time in either left or center field.
