Update: Hicks leaves game with right hamstring strain

12:10am: Hicks left the game with a right hamstring strain, the Yankees announced. That’s no good. Even if it’s a relatively minor strain, Hicks figures to miss some time. At least rosters expand soon.

11:08pm: Aaron Hicks left tonight’s game in the ninth inning with an apparent right leg injury. He busted it out of the box on a ground ball, put pulled up short of first base and favored his right leg. Could be a hamstring or a quad, but who knows. Aaron Judge took over in right field in the bottom of the ninth. Here’s video of the injury:

If there’s one thing the Yankees have, it’s outfield depth. Even after trading Ben Gamel earlier today. Judge is the everyday right fielder as it is — Hicks is more of the roving fourth outfielder — and the team has Mason Williams waiting in Triple-A. Rob Refsnyder can play some outfield too. Rosters expand tomorrow.

Hick is having an awful season overall, but he’s been much better of late, hitting .291/.333/.456 (112 wRC+) in August. The Yankees need all the offense they can get these days, so losing Hicks is not insignificant. The team has not yet released an update, so stay tuned.
