Marlins' Liam Hicks: Taking seat Sunday
Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Hicks will sit for the second time in the past three games, even though the Marlins have faced a right-handed starter in all three contests. The 26-year-old has a .708 OPS with a 5:6 BB:K in his past 10 games and should continue to see at least semi-regular starts, though his grip on a strong-side platoon role appears to be slipping.

Austin Wells C | NYY
Yankees' Austin Wells: Goes deep Saturday
Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mets on Saturday.
Wells plated New York's second run of the game with a solo shot to right field in the third inning. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless stretch by the backstop and increased his total to 12 home runs on the season -- tied for fourth among big-league catchers. Wells was also looked at by a trainer early in the game after taking a foul tip off his mask, but he remained in the contest and is in the lineup again Sunday, batting eighth and starting behind the plate.
