Hicks was scratched from Thursday's spring game due to a stye on his eyelid, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks will visit an eye doctor instead of participating in Thursday's game. He'll likely just be day-to-day and could be back in the lineup as soon as this weekend. It's not clear how much playing time Hicks will get early in the season, as the Yankees also have Jacoby Ellsbury, Brett Gardner (wrist) and Carlos Beltran in the outfield, with Alex Rodriguez once again set to get the vast majority of at-bats at DH.
