Aaron Hicks Closing In On Return
8 months agoBaltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) took batting practice and ran the bases before Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 33-year-old came away feeling good, and Baltimore believes he will not require a minor-league rehab assignment. Hicks has been on the injured list since Aug. 19 with a lower-back strain stemming from an Aug. 14 contest, which was the same game he returned from a left hamstring strain that had cost him the prior 18 outings. After the O's brought Colton Cowser back up Friday, the switch-hitting Hicks will only provide additional outfield depth upon his return, which could come early next week.
