When Aaron Boone spoke to the media on Wednesday, he announced the starters (not the lineup) for Opening Day. He also slipped a nugget about Aaron Hicks in there.
Lineup stuff: Bird 1B tomorrow and Voit DH.
LeMahieu will get regular at-bats and will start Saturday.
Boone said Voit’s defensive strides mean he doesn’t anticipate subbing for D late.
Hicks, who last played in a game on March 1 and tallied only 9 at bats this spring, has yet to resume baseball activities. He had a cortisone injection on March 11 for his lower back pain.
