John Hicks out of lineup as Tigers face Indians

Detroit Tigers catcher/first baseman John Hicks is out of the lineup Saturday against the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

With Dixon Machado at second and Niko Goodrum at first, there's no room for Hicks in the lineup. His absence comes a day after going 1-for-3 in a start at first base.

Hicks is projected for 6 home runs, 23 RBI and a .268 average the rest of the season.
