Liam Hicks Fantasy Stats

The Miami Marlins announced that they activated catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks (back) from the 10-day injured list. Hicks is starting at first base and is batting leadoff for the Fish on Tuesday on the road against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Tanner Gordon at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Fantasy managers will want to get the 27-year-old Canadian back in their starting lineups immediately. It's a great week for him to return from the IL with games in Denver and at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park in Sacramento this weekend. The former ninth-rounder by the Texas Rangers in 2021 out of Arkansas State University is having a breakout campaign in 2026, slashing .278/.359/.472 with an .831 OPS, 13 home runs, 53 RBI, 40 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 248 at-bats in just his second year in the majors. In just three career at-bats against Gordon, Hicks has a home run and two RBI. Fantasy managers have caught on and added Hicks before he landed on the IL. He's now rostered in 83% of Yahoo leagues.

Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman/designated hitter Liam Hicks (back) took part in a full day of baseball activities on June 26 and is swinging without limitations and can catch. If Hicks continues to make progress, MLB.com suggests he's likely to come off the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible on Tuesday. Hicks was put on the IL on June 21 with a lower-back strain, but it looks like fantasy managers will get him back this week. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting Canadian backstop has had a breakout in his second season in the big leagues, slashing .278/.359/.472 with an .831 OPS, 13 home runs, 53 RBI, 40 runs scored, and a stolen base across 73 games played and 288 plate appearances in 2026. For fantasy purposes, it's the perfect time for managers to get Hicks back, with Miami in Colorado and Sacramento at Coors Field and Sutter Health Park, respectively -- two of the most hitter-friendly parks in the league. In 16 games in June before his back injury, Hicks had gone 18-for-58 (.310) with two homers, two doubles, a triple, eight RBI, and 13 runs scored. Get ready to plug him back into all starting fantasy lineups this week.

Miami Marlins catcher Liam Hicks (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a low back strain. Hicks was scratched from the Marlins lineup on Saturday with low back tightness, but it appears that imaging may have discovered a more serious issue. The 27-year-old has been a revelation so far this season for Miami, hitting .278/.359/.472 with 13 home runs, 53 RBI, 40 runs scored, and one stolen base across 288 plate appearances. He's drawn a walk in 10.1% of his plate appearances while logging just a 9.7% strikeout rate. Hicks has lined up at first base and/or designated hitter more often than he's been behind the plate in recent weeks, with Joe Mack handling the regular catching duties for Miami. Still, Miami selected the contract of catcher Brian Navarreto from Triple-A Jacksonville as the corresponding move to Hicks going on the injured list rather than calling up high-upside catcher Agustin Ramirez, whose defense behind the plate remains a question mark.

Marlins catcher Liam Hicks has been scratched from Saturday's matchup against the Giants due to lower back tightness. The setback comes at an unfortunate time for the 27-year-old, who has been one of Miami's hottest hitters recently, riding a 10-game hit streak and slugging .517 over his last seven games. Hicks is slashing .278/.359/.472 with a .831 OPS across 73 games in his second season with the Marlins. The injury is not expected to be a major concern, but his absence will leave a noticeable hole in the lineup. If available, Hicks profiles as a high-end waiver wire option as he continues to establish himself as a valuable offensive piece for Miami.

Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks was the catalyst for the team's offense in Saturday's win over the division-rival New York Mets at Loan Depot Park. Hicks went 2-for-4 at the plate with two solo home runs to raise his season average to .279 and his OPS to .842. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger took Mets starter Freddy Peralta deep twice for the first multi-home run game of his young career. The two home runs were Hicks' first since May 7, and he's now hitting .233 (17-for-73) with four long balls, a double, 16 RBI, and six runs scored across 21 games and 82 plate appearances this month. He had gone hitless in each of his last three games, so it was nice to see him break out on Saturday. In his second year in the big leagues, Hicks is breaking out for the Fish, hitting .279 (46-for-165) overall with 11 round-trippers, 44 RBI, 24 runs, and a steal in 50 games played. He also has a .339 on-base percentage, .503 slugging percentage, and .842 OPS. Hicks is rostered in 81% of Yahoo leagues.

Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks (illness) is feeling better and is back behind the plate on Wednesday to catch right-hander Sandy Alcantara while hitting fifth against Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow, according to MLB.com. Hicks was under the weather in L.A. on Tuesday night and was scratched from the starting lineup, but he's back in there a day later. The 26-year-old left-handed-hitting Canadian catcher has been very hot in the early going this year, batting .311 (28-for-90) for the Fish with six home runs, 27 RBI, 17 runs scored, and one stolen base in 28 games in just his second year in the majors. Hicks slashed .247/.346/.346 with six homers and 45 RBI in 119 games across 390 plate appearances in his rookie campaign in Miami in 2025. It's not a great matchup on Wednesday in his return in the series finale against Glasnow, but DFS managers can't be blamed for wanting to ride the hot hand in Hicks.

Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks (illness) was feeling under the weather on Tuesday and was scratched from the starting lineup against the hosting Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Agustin Ramirez took over at catcher, and Connor Norby made the start as the team's designated hitter in an eventual 2-1 win over the defending World Series champions. Fantasy managers are hoping that Hicks' illness won't affect his recent hot streak at the plate. The 26-year-old Canadian backstop has hit .340/.353/.574 with 14 RBI and seven runs scored in his last 51 plate appearances to raise his season line to .311/.350/.544. The former ninth-round pick by the Texas Rangers in 2021 out of Arkansas State has hit six home runs while driving in 27, scoring 17 runs, and stealing one base in 28 total games in his second year in the big leagues. At the weak catching position, Hicks deserves to be rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues. He's currently rostered in 74% of Yahoo formats.

Hicks is hitting .319 (15-for-47) with a double, three homers, and a .394 wOBA. He hit cleanup again on Tuesday and has regularly held down that important run production spot for the Marlins in the early part of the season. The 26-year-old lefty has bumped his hard-hit rate and barrel rate up this season and is a solid option behind the plate right now for fantasy baseball managers in almost all formats. If you need consistent contributions from behind the plate, Hicks is a strong option to consider in almost all formats for as long as he keeps rolling.

Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks is off to a hot start in 2026, slashing .286/.354/.524 with three home runs, 13 RBI, and 10 runs across 14 games. Hicks continues to deliver in the heart of Miami's batting order and collected a hit in three of his last four games. The 26-year-old has drastically cut down on his strikeouts, with his K% dropping from 14.4% last summer to 6.8% in 2026. While his BB% is down 4.2%, Hicks' expected batting average, xwOBA, and exit velocity are all up so far compared to last season. With dual eligibility at catcher and first base on Yahoo Fantasy, Hicks' fast start makes him a priority add for fantasy managers searching for help at first base or catcher, as he's rostered in only 55% of Yahoo leagues.

Miami Marlins left-handed-hitting catcher and first baseman Liam Hicks is off to a blazing-hot start to his 2026 campaign. Through 29 plate appearances, he's slashing .333/.414/.750 with three home runs, seven runs scored, and an NL-leading 12 RBI. Most of his underlying metrics support his early breakout, with xBA, xWOBA, and xSLG all ranking in the 97th percentile or better. More impressively, his plate discipline has also been fantastic, only striking out at a four percent clip and whiffing 5.7 percent of the time. While the 26-year-old out of Arkansas State doesn't have the career longevity to back up his early breakout, Hicks has become a must-add option in all formats. In some leagues, such as ESPN, he even has first-base eligibility, making his value even more significant. The one thing fantasy managers should be cautious of is whether Hicks starts against left-handed pitchers or becomes a strict platoon bat against right-handers. Regardless, his production so far this season is too good to pass up. Fantasy managers should look to roster him to see if he can continue this hot start.
