Only the Tin Man has more rust than Aaron Hicks.

The Yankees had no thoughts of Aaron Hicks returning to good as new when he decided to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic this offseason.

The hope, as general manager Brian Cashman said last month, was that Hicks would “knock some rust off” after being sidelined by season-ending wrist surgery in May.

In the early going, Hicks hasn’t done much at the plate in the Dominican and there will continue to be concerns about his ability to play center consistently, given his injury history and advancing age.
