Hicks will rejoin the Tigers on Friday after Victor Martinez is placed on the paternity list, John Wagner of the Toledo Blade reports.
Hicks should net some at-bats as a first baseman or designated hitter after being recalled from Triple-A Toledo. He went 11-for-27 with a home run and seven RBI in his first extended big-league action, but V-Mart should return after only a few days' absence.
