Yankees center fielder Aaron Hicks played in the outfield for the first time on Thursday since being sidelined in early March by a strained left lower back.

Hicks also went 3-for-3 with a homer and a walk in the extended spring training game against Phillies minor leaguers in Tampa.

Hicks threw out a runner trying to score, moving in to grab a fly in the fifth inning. He made a perfect one-hop throw to the plate to complete an inning-ending double play.

“Things are going well,” Hicks told the Associated Press.

Hicks went 1 for 3 with a single and two walks as the designated hitter in his first extended spring game Wednesday.

After a 2018 season that was plagued by inconsistency, a right shoulder issue that landed him on the DL and working more games (26) in the minors than majors (24) Tommy Kahnle has helped fill the void in the Yankees’ bullpen that was created by Chad Green’s poor start to the season and subsequent demotion to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Since April 14, the 29-year-old has appeared in nine games, thrown 7 ¹/₃ innings, hasn’t allowed a hit or run, struck out 11 and walked two.

The only hits and runs Kahnle have given up in 13 appearances came on April 10, when the Astros scored twice and got four hits against him in two-thirds of an inning.

Domingo German and Cameron Maybin will be at DREAM’s Field of Dreams on Friday from 11 a.m. to noon to help run a clinic for the NYC Autism Charter School at 101st Street between First and Second avenues.
