EDGE Analysis
Hicks has gone 2-for-13 with an RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over his last five games and will head to the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Miguel Andujar is starting in left field and batting fifth.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
After appearing in only four of the Yankees' final 13 games of August, Hicks picked up four consecutive starts in the wake of Andrew Benintendi (wrist) landing on the injured list. Hicks went just 2-for-12 with one walk over those four starts, and his unpalatable .214/.332/.297 slash line on the season means he'll likely have a short leash on an everyday role even though the Yankees' alternative options are uninspiring. Tim Locastro will replace Hicks in the outfield Monday, and Estevan Florial and Marwin Gonzalez are other candidates to pick up more work while Benintendi is on the shelf.

Hicks will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks was phased out of an everyday role in August amid his season-long struggles at the plate, but Andrew Benintendi's (wrist) recent move to the injured list has reopened playing time for the 32-year-old. He'll stick in the Yankees outfield for the fourth game in a row after going 2-for-8 with a walk and an RBI over the prior three contests.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Now on the bench for the third straight contest and the fourth time in five games, Hicks appears to have faded into a fourth-outfielder role after slashing a dismal .158/.264/.158 over 24 games since the All-Star break. The Yankees will give Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre call-up Estevan Florial a second straight start in center field Thursday. Florial looks like he'll get the opportunity to prove he's worthy of an everyday role, at least until the Yankees get Harrison Bader (foot) back from the injured list in September.

Hicks isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has gone 0-for-7 with four strikeouts over his last four matchups and will take a seat for the third time in the last four games. Estevan Florial will take over in center field and bat eighth.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks will sit for the second time in three days while the Yankees roll out an outfield of Andrew Benintendi, Aaron Judge and Marwin Gonzalez from left to right. Dating back to July 28, Hicks has gone 5-for-53 (.094 average) with no extra-base hits over a stretch of 16 games. He could be in danger of falling into more of a part-time role by the time Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) is ready to return from the injured list later this month.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has a .355 OPS through 11 games in August and will take a seat for Sunday's contest. Tim Locastro will enter the lineup in center field for the series finale.

Hicks went 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-9 loss against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks broke out of an 0-for-29 slump with three hits Sunday but is still slashing a meager .226/.347/.319 line. Due to the poor health of the New York outfield and previous struggles of Joey Gallo, Hicks has earned mostly every day playing time this season, but with the recent acquisitions of Harrison Bader and Andrew Benintendi, Hicks will need to continue to hit if he is to stay in the lineup come September.

Hicks was a late addition to Friday's lineup against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Anthony Rizzo was scratched about a half hour before first pitch, so Hicks joined the lineup in center field, hitting ninth.

Hicks is not in Friday's lineup against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
He will be the odd man out with Aaron Judge starting in center field and Matt Carpenter starting in right. Hicks is hitless over his last seven games (23 at-bats).
