Yankees' Aaron Hicks: Gets fourth start in five games

Hicks will start in right field and bat ninth in the lineup Sunday against the Giants.

Alex Rodriguez's offensive struggles this month have opened the door for more playing time for Hicks, who has typically entered the outfield mix whenever Carlos Beltran swaps in for Rodriguez at designated hitter. Though he'll be making his fourth start in five games, Hicks has yet to seize the opportunity, going 1-for-11 with a walk in the preceding three starts.
