New York Yankees centerfielder Aaron Hicks is sitting out Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Hicks’ decision is in protest of the police shooting of Daunte Wright in Minnesota. Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced the move during his pregame media session, and also indicated Giancarlo Stanton might not play either.
Brendan Kuty of NJ.com was first with Boone’s announcement.
Aaron Boone said it's possible that Giancarlo Stanton also won't play tonight. "I think he's considering what he's going to do," Aaron Boone said.
