Hicks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Over the past month, Hicks has slashed .372/.413/.744 over a stretch of 13 games and has earned a larger role as a result, but he's still not locked into a full-time role while the Marlins have Agustin Ramirez and Nick Fortes on hand at catcher and a number of other options available to handle designated-hitter duties. Hicks will remain on the bench for a second straight game with Ramirez handling catching duties Wednesday and with Matt Mervis getting the nod at DH.

Hicks went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 5-1 win versus Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

The Miami backstop stretched the lead to 5-1 with a 370-foot home run off Rays starter Shane Baz in the sixth inning. With this two-hit performance, Hicks is now riding a five-game hit streak over which he's batted .438 (7-for-16). The Marlins have been trying to find ways to work Hicks' bat into the lineup more often, as he's slashing .282/.352/.487 with four homers and 20 RBI through 90 plate appearances.

Hicks went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Starting at DH and batting seventh, Hicks took Caleb Freeman deep in the seventh inning, briefly tying the game at 2-2 before Max Meyer faded in the bottom of the frame. Hicks is still seeing semi-regular playing time even with Agustin Ramirez in the majors and Nick Fortes back from the IL, and the Rule 5 pick has gone yard in back-to-back starts while starting in three of the first seven contests in May. On the season, Hicks is slashing .254/.338/.433 with three homers, eight runs and 18 RBI in 79 plate appearances.

Hicks will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Though Hicks is back behind the dish for the series finale, his recent run as the Marlins' primary backstop seems to have come to an end after Miami promoted Agustin Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. If Ramirez performs well enough to earn a permanent stay in Miami, Hicks -- a Rule 5 selection -- could end up being offered back to Tigers if the Marlins don't have a spot on the roster for him once Nick Fortes (oblique) returns from the injured list.

Hicks went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie catcher nearly fueled an improbable comeback from a 9-1 deficit by the Marlins, driving in two runs with a sixth-inning single before taking Jordan Romano deep in the ninth for a two-run shot. It was the first homer of Hicks' big-league career, and through his first 16 games with Miami he's slashing .250/.333/.364 with five runs and 11 RBI.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks will take a seat for the day game after a night game, opening up a start behind the dish for Rob Brantly. While Nick Fortes is on the injured list due to a Grade 1 oblique strain, Hicks should see the bulk of the starts at catcher. The Rule 5 pickup is batting .194 with no home runs, seven RBI and four runs over 43 plate appearances on the season.

Hicks is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Nationals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the mound, Hicks will retreat to the dugout while Rob Brantly catches and bats ninth. The lefty-hitting Hicks had gone 1-for-6 with two runs scored over the first two games of the series.

Hicks went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks got the scoring started Tuesday with a two-run single in the first inning, and he added a third RBI in the sixth when his groundout to first brought Griffin Conine across home plate. After starting the season 0-for-8, Hicks has logged a hit in four of his last five outings and has gone 5-for-14 with one double and four RBI across that span.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the last three games while top backstop Nick Fortes dealt with a stiff neck, Hicks will retreat to the bench now that Fortes has seemingly moved past the issue. A Rule 5 draft pick over the winter, Hicks has appeared in six games so far this season and has gone 4-for-17 with an RBI.

Hicks has been added to Miami's lineup ahead of Saturday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks was originally scheduled for a day out of the starting lineup, but he's since been added, as Nick Fortes was scratched due to neck stiffness. This will be Hicks' third straight start at catcher and his fourth over the Marlins' past five games.
