John Hicks - C/1B - Detroit Tigers - Hicks is currently batting .278 with nine homers and 32 RBI’s for Detroit, splitting time at catcher and first base. He is making the most of his increased playing time, posting career highs this season after being drafted in 2011.
Ryan Zimmerman - 1B - Washington Nationals - The former UVA legend is still on the DL with a back injury and should return to the Nationals soon.
