Hicks will remain in the lineup in left field Sunday against the Rays. He'll bat second in the order.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks has started 12 games in a row for the Yankees and seems to be finally catching fire, going 5-for-11 with two homers, four RBI, three runs and a stolen base over his last three appearances. Unfortunately, he's still sitting on a .203/.263/.329 batting line over 271 plate appearances on the season, and his outlook going forward doesn't appear promising. Hicks has been able to maintain his spot in the lineup the last two days thanks to Brett Gardner's ankle injury, but once Gardner returns, Hicks could be forced to settle for backup duties in the outfield. Aaron Judge, who was promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, looks in line to serve as the Yankees' everyday right fielder the rest of the way, joining Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury as regular starters in the outfield.
