The Yankees designated Aaron Hicks for assignment, the team announced on Saturday. Here’s what you need to know:

Hicks, 33, joined the Yankees in 2016 after a trade from the Twins.

The outfielder still had three years and nearly $30 million left on his contract in New York.

Before Hicks was benched for the Yankees’ game against the Giants on April 2, Hicks told The Athletic, “I have no idea what my role is. It’s kind of uncertain.”
