Go ahead and have yourself a game on national television, Aaron Hicks.
The New York Yankees' outfielder had an incredible night on Sunday night against their archrivals, the Boston Red Sox, hitting 3 home runs and knocking in 4, giving him 14 bombs on the season. That's one short of his career high of 15, set last year.

When healthy, Hicks is a valuable fantasy asset, and so far in 2018, Hicks has been healthy. He's never played more than 123 games in a season, and he played in just 88 contests in 2017. But through 64 games this year, he's batting .258/.346/.502 with those 14 homers, 38 RBIs and 39 runs scored.
However, much of those numbers have been accumulated as of late. Through June 13th, Hicks was batting .241/.343/.418 with 6 dingers in 202 plate appearances. Since then, he's hit .305/.354/.746 with 8 bombs in 65 plate appearances.
Hicks has the ability to be a power threat, especially when he's batting left-handed at Yankee Stadium, but he hadn't done much offensively until the last few weeks. If you can get something decent for Hicks, it might be a good idea to explore the trade market.
