Liam Hicks - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

On bench Friday Hicks is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Hicks will give way to Nick Fortes behind the plate against lefty Cristopher Sanchez, which is the norm for Tampa Bay against southpaws. The 27-year-old Hicks is enjoying a breakout campaign, and he's been even better by OPS with the Rays (.804) than he was with the Marlins to begin the year (.795).
