The Orioles signed Hicks to replace injured centerfielder Cedric Mullins on the active roster on May 30th, four days after Hicks was released by the New York Yankees.
Outfielder Ryan McKenna, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on August 10th when Mullins returned, has been recalled to replace Hicks on the active roster. Mullins had been on the injured list for the second time because of a right adductor/groin strain.
