Hicks (hamstring) ran the bases Tuesday without issue, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks could soon head out on a minor-league rehab assignment and should be able to return to the Orioles' active roster sometime next week. The veteran outfielder has been on the shelf since July 25 because of a left hamstring strain.

Hicks (hamstring) is expected back in the next 10-14 days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was initially reported that Hicks expected a minimum length stay on the 10-day injured list, but this news pushes his ETA back about a week. Once healthy, Hicks should assume a part-time role in what could be a pretty crowded outfield, as Cedric Mullins (groin) is also due back in the same timeframe.

Hicks (hamstring) said Tuesday that he expects to be activated following a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks tweaked his left hamstring on a dive in Monday's win over the Phillies and was placed on the IL earlier Tuesday. It sounds like it was mostly a precautionary move and the outfielder will have a good shot to be back when first eligible on Aug. 4.

Hicks was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles had labeled the injury which forced Hicks from Monday's game in Philadelphia as a hamstring cramp, but evidently, subsequent testing revealed a strain. Hicks will be eligible for activation on August 4, although it's not clear at this point whether he will be ready at that time.

Hicks left Monday's game against the Phillies with a left hamstring cramp, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is positive news for the Orioles, who are already without the services of Cedric Mullins (groin). Hicks will likely be re-evaluated Tuesday morning, but given the nature of the injury, he should be ready to roll in the near future.

Hicks left Monday's game against the Phillies due to an undisclosed injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks made an awkward diving catch in the outfield during the bottom of the third inning and was forced to leave the contest immediately after. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information on his injury comes to light. Colton Cowser replaced Hicks in center field.

Hicks is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two strikeouts in the series opener Thursday. Colton Cowser will take over in center field and bat seventh against Tampa Bay.

Hicks will start in center field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will be getting his third consecutive start in center in place of Cedric Mullins (adductor), who was officially moved to the 10-day injured list. Though recently promoted prospect Colton Cowser is capable of manning center, he's hitting just .111 through his first 27 big-league at-bats and may have to settle for part-time duties until his production warrants more playing time. With that in mind, Hicks could end up being the primary replacement for Mullins, given how well he's produced at the plate since signing with Baltimore in late May. Over his first 38 games with Baltimore, Hicks is slashing .263/.366/.474 with six home runs and three stolen bases.

Hicks (back) is starting in center field and batting sixth Monday versus the Dodgers, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will return to the lineup after missing Sunday's 5-4 win over the Marlins with lower-back soreness. He'll replace Cedric Mullins in center field as Mullins misses a second straight contest with a right quadriceps injury.

Hicks was taken out of Sunday's lineup due to lower-back soreness, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Brandon Hyde said Hicks was scratched from the lineup as a precaution, so it doesn't seem like Hicks' injury is too severe. He should be considered day-to-day going forward.
