This spring the Yankees have to extensions with two key members of their great young core and both are already sidelined with injuries. Luis Severino was shut down for two weeks due to right rotator cuff inflammation last Tuesday and is expected to start the regular season on the DL. Hicks has been out of the lineup since March 2nd but the Yanks are hopeful he can return to the lineup at some point this week.
Hicks was set to meet with a doctor on Monday and while the Yankees believe he is going to be fine, there has to be some concern within the club just over two weeks away from Opening Day.
