Yankees manager Aaron Boone and Yankees head athletic trainer Tim Lentych immediately walked over to Hicks, who remained down for several minutes.  He tested his running skills before being taken out of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland would load the bases with one out against starter Nestor Cortes Jr., and catcher Austin Hedges scored on a sacrifice fly to cut the Yankees&#8217; lead to 4-1.<\/p>\n<p>Marwin Gonz\u00e1lez, making his postseason debut in pinstripes, was brought in as a defensive replacement.  Gonz\u00e1lez has had limited experience playing left field at Yankee Stadium, with only eight previous appearances this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees have some versatility in their lineup to cover Hicks&#8217; absence, particularly with the likely return of DJ LeMahieu (right foot discomfort) to the infield.<\/p>\n<p>Gonz\u00e1lez and Cabrera both have outfield experience this season.  Since his major league debut on Aug.  17, Cabrera has played 37 games in the outfield, including three this postseason.  The speedy Tim Locastro also played 26 games in the outfield this regular season, mostly as a defensive replacement.<\/p>\n<p>And Matt Carpenter, who was activated for the postseason after being out with a foot fracture since Aug.  8, also had 15 outfield appearances for the Yankees.  Carpenter, who has been limited to a lefty bat off the bench, has said that he feels healthy and that playing the outfield could be on the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5:29 PM ET Mary RiveraESPN Writer Close Marly Rivera is a writer for ESPNdeportes.com and ESPN.com.
