• Aaron Hicks: Cut by Halos

  05/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Angels released Hicks on Wednesday. After being DFA'd by the Angels on Monday, Hicks will now enter the open market and attempt to latch on with another organization. The 34-year-old outfielder slashed .140/.222/.193 across 63 plate appearances with Los Angeles, though he figures to have little trouble securing at least a minor-league deal with a team in need of organizational depth.

  Hicks is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Hicks finds himself on the bench for the third time in four games and may be viewed as a part-time player at this time in the wake of his rough start to the season. Over 48 plate appearances with the Angels, Hicks is slashing .159/.229/.227 with a career-worst 31.2 percent strikeout rate.

• Angels' Aaron Hicks: Poaching work from Sano

  04/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hicks will serve as the Angels' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Hicks will draw a third consecutive start, all of which have come against right-handed pitching. Though he owns an underwhelming .528 OPS through 38 plate appearances on the season, Hicks still looks as though he's being prioritized over Miguel Sano, who has seen his strikeouts pile up of late and will remain out of the lineup for a third straight contest.

  Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox. Hicks is on the bench for the second time in the three-game series, with both of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. With Miguel Sano heating up at the plate to solidify himself as the Angels' top option at designated hitter and with Mickey Moniak gaining traction in right field, Hicks' opportunities could be limited mostly to when the Halos face left-handed pitching.
