Aaron Hicks (elbow flexor strain) was reevaluated on Monday and is doing well, according to manager Aaron Boone, but still two weeks from throwing.
“[The strain] being close to the UCL, we don’t want to risk anything,” Boone said Monday as the Yankees completed a doubleheader sweep of the Orioles.
“The only thing holding me back from baseball activities is throwing,’’ Hicks said before being re-examined.
Gary Sanchez went hitless in the first game on Monday and is 1-for-11 with five strikeouts since his return from the IL. He did not play in the second game and is in a 1-for-30 slide overall.
