When the Yankees announced they were resigning Brett Gardner in December, it made all the sense in the world. The teams projected starting centerfielder, Aaron Hicks, had just recently undergone Tommy John surgery. He won’t be starting rehab until AT THE EARLIEST May or June.

There’s One Really Simple Solution Here
As stated, Hicks is out and not expected to return until August at the earliest.
