New York Yankees caught wind of the possibility that Aaron Hicks would have to undergo season-ending surgery on his wrist early on Friday morning, but nothing was widely reported.
Then came the news in the late afternoon. Hicks is likely done for the year, and if he’s not, he’ll return much later in the season and will probably need a good while to get back on track before he returns to his former self.
