ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Already without Didi Gregorius due to torn cartilage in his right wrist, the Yankees lost Aaron Hicks to an apparent injury Monday night against the Rays.
The center fielder left the game before the bottom of the fourth inning and was replaced by Brett Gardner.
Hicks grounded out in each of his two at-bats before being removed. He also fouled a ball off his left ankle Saturday. Hicks remained in that game and delivered the game-winning double to clinch the Yankees’ spot in the wild-card game. Gregorius suffered his injury sliding home on the play.
