Hicks went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 11-5 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks was one of three Orioles with multiple hits in this contest. Since returning from a back injury, he's been locked in, going 13-for-28 (.464) with nine RBI over eight contests. He's forced his way into a near-everyday role in the outfield, occasionally covering for Cedric Mullins in center field when the Orioles are facing a southpaw. Hicks is slashing .264/.350/.411 with eight home runs, 34 RBI, 40 runs scored and three stolen bases over 79 contests between Baltimore and the Yankees this season.

Hicks went 3-for-4 with a double, a three-run homer, two additional runs scored and an intentional walk in Saturday's 13-12 victory over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks delivered his third multi-hit effort in six games since returning from the injured list, including a three-run shot over Boston's Green Monster in the third inning. The switch-hitting outfielder is now 9-for-21 (.429) with eight RBI during the aforementioned six-game stretch. If he stays healthy and continues to perform at the dish, Hicks should receive plenty of at-bats down the stretch.

The Orioles reinstated Hicks (back) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start in left field and bat sixth in the Orioles' series finale in Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
A lower-back strain sent Hicks to the injured list Aug. 19, but he was cleared to rejoin the 28-man active roster without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment. He'll immediately settle into the starting nine while Austin Hays receives Sunday's game off, though Hicks will most likely serve as the Orioles' fourth outfielder moving forward.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Hicks (back) is continuing to run the bases and won't necessarily need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated from the 10-day injured list, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hyde implied that as long as Hicks is able to resume full baseball activities and get back into a daily rhythm during his training, the Orioles would be comfortable activating the 33-year-old without first seeing him in a game setting. Hicks will likely serve as the Orioles' fourth outfielder behind Austin Hays, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander once healthy.

Hicks (back) hopes to be activated from the 10-day injured list early next week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has been out of action since being placed on the IL with a strained lower back a little over a week ago, and he looks set to miss more than the minimum 10 days. However, he's already taking batting practice against high-velocity pitching, and barring any setbacks, he could be ready to rejoin the Orioles for their series with the Angels that begins Sept. 4.

Hicks was placed on the 10-day injured list with a lower-back strain Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks returned from a trip to the injured list with a hamstring injury Monday but played just one game before suffering another injury. His trip to the injured list can be backdated by three days, leaving him eligible to return next Saturday, though it's not yet clear if a minimum-length stay is on the table.

Hicks (back) remains out of the lineup Friday at Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has played in only one game for the Orioles since he returned Monday from a three-week absence to heal a left hamstring strain. He remains day-to-day with nagging back soreness and could require another stint on the injured list if it lingers any longer.

Hicks was removed from Monday's game against San Diego with back soreness, but he is available off the bench for Tuesday's contest, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks went 2-for-3 with a run scored in his return from the injured list before making an early exit. Luckily, his injury isn't severe and won't completely rule him out of any games. Hicks is slashing .257/.297/.286 with three RBI across 37 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Hicks (hamstring) was activated from the injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
A hamstring injury cost Hicks the last three weeks of action, but after playing in a pair of rehab games he is ready to return to action. The Orioles have not yet release their lineup for Monday's contest, so it remains to be seen if Hicks will be in it. However, he figures to reclaim a role in Baltimore's outfield.

Hicks (hamstring) will report to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks said he expects to remain with Norfolk through the weekend to play two games during its series in Jacksonville before likely coming off the 10-day injured list ahead of the Orioles' series opener in San Diego on Monday. Cedric Mullins (groin) appears on track to narrowly beat Hicks back from the IL, so Hicks may have to settle for the fourth outfielder role once he's activated.
