Aaron Hicks Designated for Assignment by Angels Following Poor Performance

The Los Angeles Angels have made a significant roster change, replacing Aaron Hicks with Cole Tucker due to Hicks' underwhelming start to the season.

Aaron Hicks was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Angels after a disappointing start, hitting only .140 in 18 games.
The move to replace Hicks with utility man Cole Tucker reflects a shift towards performance-based decisions for the team.
Manager Ron Washington emphasized the need for changes, signaling a no-tolerance policy for poor performance among players.
Cole Tucker, a versatile player, has been promoted from Triple-A, where he was hitting .313 with a .908 OPS.
The Angels, struggling with a five-game losing streak and a poor home record, aim to revitalize their lineup with this change.
