Liam Hicks News: First big-league start Friday

Published on March 28, 2025

Hicks is starting at catcher and batting seventh in Friday's contest versus the Pirates.

After Nick Fortes got the call behind the plate in Thursday's opener, Hicks will do the catching Friday in what will be his major-league debut. The 25-year-old was the second pick in the Rule 5 draft over the offseason.
