Aaron Hicks reinstated from the DL; Shane Robinson DFA'd

By -

With the Yankees suffering from numerous injuries in the early part of the season, they’ll get one piece back in Aaron Hicks, who was dealing with an oblique injury. The injury-prone center fielder is reinstated from the 10-day DL after he played in just 88 games last season due to injury as well, something that has slowed down in his career so far.

Hicks is back in the lineup tonight batting sixth while he will be DHing for the time being. He was two-for-four before going down with the injury and his health is key for the Yanks to reach their full potential. An All Star-like first half of the season in 2017, Hicks could potentially be the spark that jumpstarts this offense.

In the corresponding move, the Yanks OF Shane Robinson was DFA’d, as he made one start, which was Tuesday’s blowout loss against the Red Sox in which he went one-for-three with a walk. Hicks’ return should soon be followed by fellow outfielders Clint Frazier and Jacoby Ellsbury and it means no more starts from the likes of Jace Peterson and Robinson.

Being trapped inside for the last two days due to the snowstorm that pounded the entire eastern seaboard has only enhanced my desire for the return of baseball season. 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
