Liam Hicks went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday’s 10-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Hicks had a fantastic series against the Chicago White Sox, going 6-for-11 with two home runs and a double, while scoring five runs and driving in nine. He now has three home runs on the season and is worth a pickup if you’re looking for a hot bat, especially given his catcher eligibility.
Liam Hicks went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and one run scored in Monday’s 9-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
With right-hander Davis Martin on the mound for the White Sox, Hicks drew the start behind the plate and hit cleanup. He took full advantage, launching a two-run home run in the fourth inning with a 105.1 mph exit velocity. While he has primarily been in the lineup against right-handed pitchers to start the season, it’s an encouraging sign that he’s 3-for-8 with two home runs and six RBI. He is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday with right-hander Erick Fedde on the mound for Chicago.
Liam Hicks went 1-for-2 with a home run, a walk, one run scored and three RBI in a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
With right-handed pitcher Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rockies on Saturday, Hicks started behind the plate and hit cleanup. He contributed a sacrifice fly in the third inning and a 384-foot home run to right field in the fifth. After his strong performance, fantasy managers can expect Hicks to remain in the heart of the Miami Marlins’ order whenever a right-handed pitcher starts.
