LIAM HICKS NEWS

On bench for second straight Hicks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Over the past month, Hicks has slashed .372/.413/.744 over a stretch of 13 games and has earned a larger role as a result, but he's still not locked into a full-time role while the Marlins have Agustin Ramirez and Nick Fortes on hand at catcher and a number of other options available to handle designated-hitter duties. Hicks will remain on the bench for a second straight game with Ramirez handling catching duties Wednesday and with Matt Mervis getting the nod at DH.

Goes yard Sunday Hicks went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 5-1 win versus Tampa Bay.

Impact The Miami backstop stretched the lead to 5-1 with a 370-foot home run off Rays starter Shane Baz in the sixth inning. With this two-hit performance, Hicks is now riding a five-game hit streak over which he's batted .438 (7-for-16). The Marlins have been trying to find ways to work Hicks' bat into the lineup more often, as he's slashing .282/.352/.487 with four homers and 20 RBI through 90 plate appearances.

Pops third homer Hicks went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

Impact Getting the start at DH and batting seventh, Hicks took Caleb Freeman deep in the seventh inning, briefly tying the game at 2-2 before Max Meyer faded in the bottom of the frame. Hicks is still seeing semi-regular playing time even with Agustin Ramirez in the majors and Nick Fortes back from the IL, and the Rule 5 pick has gone yard in back-to-back starts while seeing his name on the lineup card in three of the first seven contests in May. On the season, Hicks is slashing .254/.338/.433 with three homers, eight runs and 18 RBI in 79 plate appearances.

Losing work to Ramirez Hicks will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact Though Hicks is back behind the dish for the series finale, his recent run as the Marlins' primary backstop seems to have come to an end after Miami promoted Agustin Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. If Ramirez performs well enough to earn a permanent stay in Miami, Hicks -- a Rule 5 selection -- could end up being offered back to Tigers if the Marlins don't have a spot on the roster for him once Nick Fortes (oblique) returns from the injured list.

Pops first career homer Hicks went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Phillies.

Impact The rookie catcher nearly fueled an improbable comeback from a 9-1 deficit by the Marlins, driving in two runs with a sixth-inning single before taking Jordan Romano deep in the ninth for a two-run shot. It was the first homer of Hicks' big-league career, and through his first 16 games with Miami he's slashing .250/.333/.364 with five runs and 11 RBI.

Hitting bench Thursday Hicks is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Hicks will take a seat for the day game after a night game, opening up a start behind the dish for Rob Brantly. While Nick Fortes is on the injured list due to a Grade 1 oblique strain, Hicks should see the bulk of the starts at catcher. The Rule 5 pickup is batting .194 with no home runs, seven RBI and four runs over 43 plate appearances on the season.
