Yankees injury news: Aaron Hicks to begin rehab assignment in Triple-A Scranton tonight

By -
Out since late June with an oblique injury, Aaron Hicks will report to Triple-A Scranton to start his rehab assignment. The Yankees believe Hicks will need at least one week to get back into the swing of things, because he will need at-bats from the left and right side of the plate. The Yankees believe he can possibly rejoin the team after their next road trip.

Aaron Hicks’ return will make for an interesting decision involving the Yankees’ outfield as they will have five players capable of playing every day for three positions. Nevertheless, Hicks was having a career year before his injury and no matter the roster decision will be an upgrade for the team defensively and offensively. 

 At the plate, Hicks was hitting .290/.398/.515, all career highs, with 10 homers, 37 RBIs, 15 doubles and seven steals. He also had a 144 wRC+ and 2.7 fWAR. 

 We will keep you updated on the status of Hicks.

Considering all indications from ownership point to the Yankees being done for the most part as far as additions are concerned, I felt as if now would be a prompt time to make some early predictions about the 2016 season. As I look at the Yankees team as currently comprised, I'm feeling the same sense of uncertainty as I did at this point last season. A successful 2016 season is contingent on production from players who are either old, injury prone, or in some cases, a combination of both. Normally, this would seem to be a recipe for disaster, however I'm going to try the optimistic route. Below, are what I view as the five keys to a successful 2016. In my view, each of the five are equally important. Unfortunately, the Yankees need a lot to go right in order for them to return to the postseason. Having one posts
