Tabbed as likely No. 3 hitter Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that he envisions Hicks serving as the Yankees' No. 3 hitter in 2021, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact During the abbreviated 2020 campaign, the No. 3 spot was the most common placement for Hicks, who made 32 of his 49 starts out of that lineup slot. It's worth noting that the Yankees were without both Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton for more than half of the season, but the sluggers' return to full health heading into 2021 apparently won't affect where Hicks fits into the lineup. Coming off October 2019 Tommy John surgery, Hicks' overall production dipped in 2020, but he still showed strong on-base ability, slashing .229/.400/.390 (126 wRC+) in 135 plate appearances in that lineup spot. Even if the power numbers he delivered prior to his surgery don't return, Hicks' ability to rack up walks should put him in position to score plenty of runs in the heart of a potent Yankees lineup.

Struggles in first spring start Cole threw 28 pitches in one inning of work against the Tigers on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk. He struck out one batter and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Cole looked rusty in his first Grapefruit League appearance, though all three hits against him were singles. He escaped with only one run crossing the plate by stranding the bases loaded. The right-hander will have plenty of time to settle in this spring before toeing the mound for the Yankees on Opening Day against Toronto.

Spring debut set for Thursday Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he expects Urshela (elbow) to make his Grapefruit League debut Thursday against the Phillies, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Impact Urshela hasn't faced any strict limitations thus far at camp, but the Yankees have been deliberately bringing him along slowly after he underwent surgery in December to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. Boone didn't specify whether Urshela would start at third base Thursday like he normally would in the regular season or if the 29-year-old's spring debut will come as a designated hitter.

Still waiting on visa Updating a previous report, Florial has not yet reported to the Yankees' spring training facility and continues to deal with visa issues, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Due to COVID-19-related restrictions, reporters at spring training don't have as much access to players as normal. With that in mind, Rivera relayed that she thought she spotted Florial at the Yankees' workout Monday while looking down at the field with binoculars, but it was apparently a misidentification. Manager Aaron Boone clarified Tuesday that he doesn't expect an update on Florial for the next 24-to-48 hours, so the outfielder doesn't look like he'll be ready to join the Yankees until the end of the week at the earliest.

Remains in organization Allen cleared waivers Monday and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Impact Allen will remain in camp as a non-roster invitee. With a career .239/.298/.343 slash line through 221 major-league games, it's no surprise he passed through waivers, though he'd likely avoid embarrassing himself if the Yankees call on him at some point down the line.

The 23-year-old will most likely open the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
