The swipe was the first of the campaign for Hicks, who has notched double-digit steals in three of his previous seven MLB seasons.

Singles as pinch hitter Hicks (calf) singled in his only at-bat during Monday's loss to Tampa Bay.
Impact Both Hicks and manager Aaron Boone indicated following Sunday's game that they weren't concerned about the calf cramps that forced the 30-year-old to exit that contest, and their statements were validated when Hicks notched an infield single in the ninth inning Monday. It wouldn't be a surprise for Hicks to be back starting at his customary center field position Tuesday.
