BOSTON -- Aaron Hicks is ready to return to action for the Yankees, just in time for the team's first regular-season look at David Price in a Red Sox uniform.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said on Friday that Hicks will be available at any point of this weekend's series at Fenway Park, and he is a likely candidate to start in the series finale against the left-handed Price on Sunday.
"Definitely a possibility," Girardi said.
Hicks has not started since injuring his left shoulder attempting a diving catch in an April 22 game against the Rays, though a cortisone injection has helped him avoid a stint on the disabled list.
