The New York Yankees believe that centerfielder Aaron Hicks should be ready to be activated this weekend.
Hicks, 29, hasn’t played at all this season. He was placed on the IL during spring training due to back issues.
Last season, Hicks hit .248 with 27 home runs and 79 RBIs. In 2017, Hicks bat .266.
In three games with the Tampa Tarpons, Hicks is 0-for-11, but nobody is really concerned. Most times, players struggle in their rehab assignments just because they are rusty and are used to faster pitching with pitches that have even more break.
