Yankees' Aaron Hicks: Starting in right field Saturday
Hicks is batting eighth and starting in right field for Saturday's contest against the Orioles.
Analysis:
Hicks will get his first start of the season in place of the slumping Aaron Judge, a major opportunity for the veteran outfielder. He represents an interesting role player as a switch-hitter, but will need to improve upon his .217 average from last season if he's aiming for an everyday spot. Regardless, if Hicks gets hot and Judge stays cold, there could be a change in order.
