The Baltimore Orioles have activated outfielder Aaron Hicks from the injured list, while optioning prospect Colton Cowser to Triple-A Norfolk.

Austin Hays' struggles post-All-Star break could open up playing time for Hicks, particularly against left-handed pitchers. Despite Cowser's underwhelming performance in the majors, he remains a highly regarded prospect and will have the opportunity to work on his game in the minors.

O'Hearn and Hicks shine in Orioles' victory over Rays.

Ryan O'Hearn and Aaron Hicks have been key players for the Baltimore Orioles during a recent winning streak, but their future with the team beyond this season is uncertain. O'Hearn has emerged as a middle-of-the-order bat with positional flexibility, while Hicks has exceeded expectations as a veteran outfielder. The Orioles' positional flexibility may allow them to keep both players on the roster, but the looming return of injured players and the emergence of prospects could change the team's plans.

Yankees part ways with veteran outfielder Aaron Hicks.

The New York Yankees have designated center fielder Aaron Hicks for assignment, ending an eight-year relationship. Hicks was among the best center fielders in the game before declining into a player without a role. The deterioration of the relationship between the player and the club appeared to lead to an inevitable sub rosa dismissal. The seven-year term of his contract, built to lower the CBT hit of the deal, ultimately drove the Yankees to this decision.
