Aaron Hicks (back) ruled out for Yankees on Opening Day
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) has been ruled out for Opening Day.
What It Means:
Hicks is aiming to make his season debut in the Yankees' second series versus the Detroit Tigers. The 29-year-old says he was on track to play Opening Day before requiring a second cortisone shot Sunday. Brett Gardner will likely start in center field until Hicks returns. Giancarlo Stanton could also see more outfield work.
numberFire's models expect Hicks to bat .250 with 23 home runs, 75 RBI, 81 runs scored, and 12 steals over 566 plate appearances this season.
