The Yankees were dealt a blow to their lineup today, after manager Aaron Boone announced that Aaron Hicks is out with a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. The centerfielder’s timeline to return isn’t set in stone yet, as the team is simply holding him out for now and offering a vague list of outcomes — Hicks could return this weekend, end up on the Injured List, or require surgery.
Hicks has had a sluggish start to this season, posting a .194/.294/.333 slash line with four home runs and 14 RBI. The outfielder started a medication regiment on Thursday, but it’s unclear how long he has been playing through this discomfort.
