ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — With his roster spot potentially in question in the coming days, Aaron Hicks showed signs of life Sunday.

Hicks entered Sunday 7-for-52 with seven singles this season, but delivered in an important spot against Rays left-hander Josh Fleming in the fourth inning. With one out and a runner on first, batting from the right side , Hicks roped a double down the third-base line to score Jose Trevino for the 4-0 lead.

Barring another injury to a position player before then, the Yankees will need to open a roster spot on Tuesday, when they plan to activate Aaron Judge from the injured list. The Yankees have a number of ways they could do that, including optioning Oswald Peraza or Oswaldo Cabrera to Triple-A. But designating Hicks — who has three years and about $30 million left on his contract — for assignment could also be on the table.
