New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will sit out Tuesday's matchup with the Orioles. This should just be a day off for Hicks, who has slumped out of the gates by going 1-for-15 with seven strikeouts in four games. Brett Gardner will take over for Hicks in center, and he will be hitting third against Baltimore starter Dean Kremer.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is in no danger of losing his position as the number three hitter in the team's lineup at this point, according to manager Aaron Boone. It should go without saying that a poor two-game start to the season shouldn't affect a hitter's lineup position (even coming off of a relatively unimpressive 2020 season), especially considering that Hicks is one of the very few Yankees starters capable of batting lefty. Fantasy managers should expect Hicks to rebound ...

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 230CURRENT ADP: ~259 overallANALYSIS:Hicks is one of my favorite outfielders this year. I mean, the guy is currently projected to hit third for the Yankees, sandwiched betweenAaron JudgeandGiancarlo Stanton, yet he is going outside the first 15 rounds on average. And, that is even with his ADP climbing as of late. In early drafts, I would get him around the 20th round. Hicks is now two years removed from that 27 homer, 11 stolen base, 90 run season, but I will ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will primarily bat third in the team's lineup this season, according to manager Aaron Boone. That lineup likely has Hicks hitting behind two strong on-base hitters in DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge and in front of slugger Giancarlo Stanton, giving Hicks one of the most desirable lineup spots in all of baseball. Hicks was somewhat underwhelming with a .225 batting average and a .793 OPS last season, but he finished strong with an .848 OPS over his last 15 ...

Staying healthy has always been a concern for Hicks, so it was actually encouraging to see him play in 54 games in 2020, but he had to make some swing adjustments from the lingering effects of Tommy John surgery. The strikeout rate zoomed to 19.4% and he hit just .225. His Launch Angle was lowered to 6.9. But he was still strong from an on-base perspective with a .379 OBP and his BB% pf 19.4 was among the very best in the league. Hicks' xBA was a more respectable .257. His Exit Velocity of 88.2 ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks picked up a pair of walks and a single against the Rays on Tuesday, giving him a .667 batting average and 1.944 OPS through four postseason games this year. Hicks had been heating up coming into the postseason too with a .904 OPS (and three stolen bases) over his final 19 regular-season games, and a substantial part of his recent hot streak has been the result of a rebound in luck. Hicks was hampered by a low .231 BABIP through his first 35 games this ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks went 2-for-4 with a triple and his third stolen base of the season on Tuesday. Hicks filled up the box score with three RBI and a pair of runs to add on to his production, and Tuesdays performance brought his OPS up to .795 for the season. Hicks has been heating up lately with a .829 OPS in seven games leading up to Tuesday, and fantasy managers should expect the 31-year-old to continue posting an OPS around .800 with another stolen base or two through ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks singled and walked twice against the Mets on Thursday, giving him seven hits and six walks over his last eight games. Under the hood, Hicks has been making progress on some of the factors that kept his production depressed earlier this season. Specifically, Hicks has seen his ground-ball rate drop over the past few weeks, and his bad luck (-0.031 wOBA-xwOBA, .246 BABIP) is starting to turn around as well. Home runs are still uncharacteristically difficult...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks left the second game of Sundays doubleheader against the Mets due to an apparent injury. Hicks was checked on by the training staff during his at-bat in the fifth before immediately departing the game after drawing a walk. By collecting a hit and a walk prior to his exit, Hicks bumped his on-base percentage on the season up to .358 through his first 27 games. While the power metrics havent been there, Hicks has been a serviceable season-long option with ...

BALLER MOVE:Add in 12+ Team LeaguesOWNED IN: 13% of leaguesANALYSIS:Aaron Hickshas featured in 11 (ten starts) of the New York Yankees 13 games so far with a somewhat unsightly .188/.366/.344 slash line. Hicks has just the one home run with three RBI, four runs scored and has yet to steal a base. When Hicks does play, he gets a prime spot in the potent Yankees offense with nine starts coming at third or fifth in the lineup (and one start at leadoff). His ability to get on base (nine walks) ...
