Hicks will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester prior to the Twins' game Tuesday vs. the White Sox, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.
The 2014 season has been a tumultuous one for Hicks, who won the starting center field job for the Twins in spring training before he fell all the way back to Double-A New Britain and briefly considered giving up switch-hitting. The 24-year-old no longer looks like a short-term option in center field with Danny Santana thriving in the role, nor a long-term option with top prospect Byron Buxton waiting in the wings. As a result, look for Hicks to see limited use in September, and perhaps at risk of losing his spot on the 40-man roster in the offseason.
