Aaron Hicks (shin) underwent X-rays and a CT scan on his right shin after injuring his shin during Tuesday's game. Both exams came up negative. He is still dealing with some pain and according to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, he has been walking "pretty stiffly." He'll be getting treatment from the team over the next few days and he is hopeful he'll be back on the field at some point this weekend. The 32-year-old has compiled a .237/.356/.357 slash line over 76 games on the year while adding six home runs, nine stolen bases, 26 RBI and 34 runs.

Aaron Hicks (shin) is set to undergo a CT scan on his right shin on Wednesday. The 32-year-old fouled a ball off his shin during Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. He was removed from the game and helped off the field after the incident. X-rays following the injury were negative, but the team wants to Hicks to undergo a CT scan to determine if the injury is anything more than a shin contusion. The injury comes at a rough time for Hicks as he's been heating up in July. Over nine games this month, he's slashed .370/.485/.889 with three home runs, three doubles, two stolen bases, eight RBI and 10 runs.

Aaron Hicks (shin) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds after fouling a ball off his right shin. He could not put pressure on his leg and hobbled off the field. The 32-year-old went 0-for-1 before exiting. He was replaced in the game by
Marwin Gonzalez. The severity of Hicks' injury is unknown and is considered day-to-day. He will undergo further evaluation after the game, and the team will provide an update after the game. Heading into Tuesday's game, Hicks had collected a hit in five of his last six games. Gonzalez would see an uptick in playing if Hick is forced to miss any time.

Aaron Hicks is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against right-hander Luis Garcia and the Houston Astros.
Aaron Judge,
Joey Gallo and
Giancarlo Stanton will be covering the outfield for the game. Hicks has been scuffling at the plate lately, recording just one hit over his last 18 at-bats. The 32-year-old has appeared in 66 games this year and he's slashing .218/.338/.284 with three home runs, seven stolen bases, 18 RBI and 24 runs. He should remain on waivers in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues at this point.
