Hicks was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants due to lower-back tightness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Hicks has tallied a base hit in each of the Marlins' last 10 games, but he'll be forced to sit out Saturday's contest to give his back a chance to heal. Owen Caissie will slide into the DH spot while Hicks sits, opening up right field for Esteury Ruiz.
