Aaron Hicks returned from the strained flexor tendon near his right elbow in time for the ALCS, but surgery remains an option.
The center fielder was at Yankee Stadium on Monday, two days after their season ended in crushing fashion in Houston. While he said following Saturday’s loss that he didn’t expect to get Tommy John surgery, he acknowledged Monday he expected to have the elbow “treated, for sure.’’
No determination has been made about a potential surgery, although Hicks acknowledged Saturday that Dr. Neal ElAttrache — who Hicks visited in California for a second opinion last month — recommended the procedure.
