On bench vs. lefty
Hicks is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Analyse
It's the third straight game against a southpaw starter that Hicks isn't starting, so he appears to be working in the strong side of a platoon at catcher. The 27-year-old has raked in 22 games since being acquired by the Rays at the trade deadline with three homers and a .947 OPS in 80 plate appearances. Nick Fortes is picking up another start behind the plate Tuesday versus New York lefty Sean Manaea.

Taking seat Sunday
Hicks is absent from Tampa Bay's lineup for their matchup with San Diego on Sunday.
Analyse
Despite recording at least one hit in five of his last six games, including a multi-hit performance Saturday, Hicks will ride the pine for Sunday's series finale. Nick Fortes will handle the catching duties and bat eighth for the Rays.
