Hicks was scratched from the Orioles' lineup ahead of Sunday's game against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear why Hicks was taken out of the lineup, but the Orioles will likely provide an update relatively soon. In the meantime, Colton Cowser will slide to center field to cover for Hicks while Austin Hays enters in left field and bats fourth.

Hicks went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 15-2 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks was out of the starting lineup for a couple of days with Achilles soreness before returning Saturday. He rested his legs as the designated hitter Sunday and provided a blast to cap off a seven-run fifth inning for the Orioles. Hicks has hit .263 with six of his seven homers and 17 of his 22 RBI since joining the Orioles as a free agent following his release from the Yankees in late May. Despite the solid results, he'll have to stay sharp to maintain his playing time over top prospect Colton Cowser.

Hicks (Achilles) will bat sixth and play center field Saturday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks was scratched from the lineup Thursday due to Achilles soreness, but he made an appearance off the bench Friday. He'll be involved from the start Saturday against the team that drafted him 14th overall back in 2008.

Hicks was scratched from the Orioles' lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear why Hicks was removed from Thursday's lineup, but the Orioles should provide reasoning relatively soon. In the meantime, Colton Cowser will slide over to center field, and Adam Frazier will start in left field while batting eighth.

Hicks went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
While the result didn't go the Orioles' way, Hicks was able to get a little revenge against his old team. The outfielder has hit a bit of a rough patch since starting hot with Baltimore -- he's batting just .147 with two homers and three RBI over his last 11 games. For the season, he's slashing .231/.330/.391 with six long balls, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases over 179 plate appearances. While his playing time has been steady so far, the impending arrival of top prospect Colton Cowser could mean a reduced role for Hicks in the near term.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will sit for the second time in three games and could be moving into more of a fourth-outfielder role now that Cedric Mullins returned last weekend following a stint on the injured list. The Orioles will likely need to clear another spot in the lineup early during the upcoming week for Ryan Mountcastle (illness), so the likes of Hicks, Ryan O'Hearn and Ramon Urias could all see their playing-time outlooks take turns for the worse.

Hicks went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has homered twice over his last four games, and he's up to five long balls on the year. He got the start in center field Saturday, but it's expected he'll see time around the outfield and potentially also as the designated hitter now than Cedric Mullins is back from a groin injury. Over 48 games between the Orioles and the Yankees, Hicks has a .244/.331/.412 slash line with 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Hicks went 0-for-2 with a stolen base in Friday's 13-1 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks was held hitless for the second game in a row, but he picked up his second steal over the last four contests. The outfielder has logged all three of his steals this season as a member of the Orioles -- he didn't attempt a theft while with the Yankees to begin the year. Hicks is slashing .244/.333/.394 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 21 runs scored through 47 contests overall.

Hicks went 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 victory over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks increased the Orioles' lead to 4-0 in the first inning with a three-run shot off Tyler Glasnow before adding a fourth RBI with a base hit in the eighth. The 33-year-old Hicks has continued his revival in Baltimore -- he's gone 8-for-24 (.333) with a 1.032 OPS in his last seven games. Hicks is now slashing .254/.345/.410 with four homers, 21 runs scored and 15 RBI across 139 plate appearances between the Yankees and the Orioles.
