Hicks (shoulder) is batting seventh in the order and manning right field Sunday in Boston, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

Analysis:

Hicks will start for the first time since April 22, as a sore left has contained him to one at-bat in two appearances in the interim. He'll take over for Carlos Beltran in the outfield, but can be expected to return to a reserve role Tuesday in Baltimore.
