CBS Sports | R.J. Anderson: It took Aaron Hicks one series before stirring the pot. In comments to The Athletic he expressed his frustration over having no idea what his role is, and now, Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been forced to respond. Boone claims that the specific matchups in the season opening series didn’t line up well for Hicks, and encouraged the veteran outfielder to remain ready for whenever his opportunity comes. Hicks made his first start of the season last night after failing to win the spring left field competition outright and heard boos multiple times from the Bronx crowd.
