Aaron Hicks Exits Early Monday With Apparent Cramping

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (cramp) left Monday's 8-7 win over the Astros in the ninth inning with an apparent cramp, per Baltimore Sun's Jacob Calvin Meyer. Hicks went 1-for-4 with a single, a walk, and a strikeout. He advanced to second on a past ball in the top of the ninth and slid awkwardly into second before being replaced defensively in the bottom half of the inning. Fantasy managers should check for further news tomorrow, but it sounds as though he did not sustain any serious injury. The 33-year-old has been a solid contributor since joining the O's at the end of May, batting .288 with seven home runs and 29 RBI in 177 at-bats.

Previewing The 2023-24 Free Agent Class: Corner Outfield

Throughout the week, we’ve covered the upcoming free agent class at MLBTR. We move today to the outfield. Teams often use left and right fielders interchangeably, so we’ll combine them into a single corner outfield group. It’s not a great class but is arguably among the stronger options in a light market for position players.…

Orioles Make Four Roster Moves

The Orioles announced four roster moves prior to today’s game with the Diamondbacks.  Newly-claimed reliever Jorge Lopez has been officially activated, and right-hander Austin Voth was designated for assignment to create room for Lopez on the 40-man roster.  Baltimore also optioned Colton Cowser to Triple-A, as outfielder Aaron Hicks was activated from the 10-day injured…

Aaron Hicks Activated From The Injured List

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The veteran outfielder has been out since August 19 with a lower back strain but he's back in the lineup for the series finale against the Diamondbacks, batting sixth against Zac Gallen. Hicks has put together a decent stint with the Orioles so far this year, slashing .261/.355/.440 with six home runs and 20 RBI over 155 plate appearances. Colton Cowser was optioned back to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Aaron Hicks Closing In On Return

Baltimore 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.

Aaron Hicks Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to August 15. He returned from the IL on Monday with a hamstring injury but lasted just one game before suffering another injury. The 33-year-old is slashing .236/.325/.379 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 34 runs, and three stolen bases over 231 plate appearances in 2023. Hicks is eligible to come off the injured list next Saturday, but it's unclear if he will require more than the minimum stay. Ryan McKenna was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Aaron Hicks Remains Out On Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. He'll miss his second straight game after suffering a back injury during his return from the injured list on Monday. Luckily, it doesn't sound like Hicks is going to require another stint on the injured list. Instead, fantasy managers should consider Hicks as day-to-day. Cedric Mullins will cover center field and bat seventh versus lefty Blake Snell on Wednesday. Snell has been extremely tough on the mound lately, so Mullins won't be a recommended fantasy option here.

Aaron Hicks Closing In On Rehab Assignment

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) is inching towards starting a rehab assignment. The 33-year-old did some running on the field and also took batting practice on Friday. Hicks has been shelved by a left hamstring strain since July 25. If all continues to go well in his recovery, the switch-hitter figures to return to the major-league lineup perhaps at some time in mid-August. Hicks' potential activation could spell trouble for the standing of top-prospect Colton Cowser, who is hitting a disastrous 7-for-56 with just two extra-base hits this season. Hicks, on the other hand, is managing a respectable .252/.349/.435 triple-slash line with six home runs, 20 RBI, and three stolen bases in 131 at-bats with the O's this year.

Cedric Mullins, Aaron Hicks Expected Back In August

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias is confident that both outfielders Cedric Mullins (groin) and Aaron Hicks (hamstring) will return to play a "large part of August." The team is currently happy with their center field options in the meantime -- Colton Cowser, Ryan McKenna and Austin Hays -- and won't let the situation impact their trade decisions ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. Mullins has been out almost two weeks, but he's making some progress and has resumed running. Hicks landed on the injured list on Tuesday, but he's expected to be ready to return when he's eligible on Aug. 4. Mullins is Baltimore's starting center fielder when healthy, and he should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues for the stretch run.

Aaron Hicks Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left-hamstring strain sustained in Monday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran was injured while diving for a fly ball in center field in the bottom of the third inning of his club's 3-2 win and will get some time off to heal. Although he has cooled off over his last few games, Hicks has been a marvelous addition for the Orioles, as he has hit .252 with six homers, four doubles, one triple, three stolen bases, and a .784 OPS across 152 plate appearances with his new club. Outfielder Ryan McKenna has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to take Hicks' spot on the roster.

Aaron Hicks Exits Early

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks left his team's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after he appeared to injure himself while attempting to make a diving catch. Hicks was slow to get up after the attempt and was replaced in the field by Colton Cowser. Hicks went hitless in his lone at-bat for the O's before departing early. Later in the game the team announced that Hicks is dealing with cramping in his left hamstring, so it appears that he has avoided a serious injury for now. Stay tuned.

Orioles Place Cedric Mullins On IL With Groin Strain

The Orioles announced that they have placed outfielder Cedric Mullins on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 16, due to a right adductor groin strain. Right-hander Logan Gillaspie was recalled in a corresponding move. Mullins has been dealing with this groin situation for quite a while, as he was also on the injured list…

Aaron Hicks Returns On Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) is back in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Emmet Sheehan. Hicks is starting in center field with Cedric Mullins (quadriceps) still out and is hitting sixth in the batting order. Hicks sat out on Sunday due to lower-back soreness, but it obviously wasn't anything serious and he'll be back in there on Monday for the start of a series against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Hicks to be any kind of savior in the second half, but the 33-year-old veteran outfielder has played much better with the O's so far in 34 games after getting cut by the New York Yankees earlier this year. He's currently hitting .255 (27-for-106) with six homers, three doubles, a triple, 17 RBI, three steals and 22 runs scored.

Aaron Hicks Scratched From Sunday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Miami Marlins as a precaution with lower-back soreness. Hicks should be considered day-to-day for now, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to action for Monday's series opener against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. With Cedric Mullins (quadriceps) also out with a minor quad injury on Sunday, Colton Cowser is starting in center field and batting seventh for the O's against Marlins left-hander Steven Okert. Hicks has been much better in Baltimore after being let go by the New York Yankees, as he's gone 27-for-106 (.255) with six home runs, three doubles, a triple, 17 RBI, three steals and 22 runs scored in his first 34 games for the O's.

Aaron Hicks Scratched From Thursday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup against the New York Yankees and Adam Frazier has replaced him. There's no official designation at this time for Hicks' removal, so hopefully Baltimore provides an update on his status when available. Frazier is summoned to patrol left field and hit eighth against the struggling Luis Severino. Hicks has come alive a bit since joining the Orioles, slashing .261/.370/.478 with five home runs, 13 RBI, and three stolen bases over 108 trips to the plate with them.
