BOSTON -- What began as a disastrous night for the New York Yankees got worse in the fourth inning of Friday's American League Division Series, when center fielder Aaron Hicks was removed with right hamstring tightness.
It was announced two innings later that he was continuing to undergo evaluation.
Hicks, who began the fourth by singling off Boston Red Sox starter Chris Sale's 91.4 mph fastball, was replaced at first base by pinch runner Brett Gardner.
Gardner remained in the game in center.
The injury came a little more than week after Hicks was sidelined for three games with left hamstring tightness.
