Hicks (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Hicks has been out since the start of May with elbow inflammation. He doesn't appear to have time to make it back before the end of the regular season, and reports indicate he'll be sent to the Arizona Fall League, which seemingly means he isn't being considered for a spot on the team's playoff roster.
