Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton was out of the starting lineup

Source (CBSSports.com) (CF - tex) | 0 comments.

News: Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton was out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics due to a recurring groin problem, but he singled in the ninth as a pinch hitter. The Rangers have no current plans to put Hamilton on the DL, but Hamilton will undergo an MRI exam administered by Dr. John Preskitt on Monday. Hamilton sustained the injury May 17 in a home game against the Angels when he crashed into the padded outfield wall while making a leaping catch. The injury was described at the time as a slight groin pull and the 2008 All-Star has remained in the lineup. But he was in a 3-for-23 slide during the seven-game homestand that concluded Sunday. "It's a great idea," Hamilton said of taking the day off. "If I can't run, I can't play. We'll see what the doctor says." Marlon Byrd started in center field in place of Hamilton, who had a breakout season in 2008 with a .304 average, 32 homers and 130 RBI. [...]

Hamilton is still trying to find his groove this season, as his .234 average and .285 on-base percentage indicate, but Hamilton has still managed to put up 24 RBIs in 34 games, despite a series of injuries. Eventually, if his health allows it, Hamilton will get it going. Even in third gear, though, he's been surprisingly adequate from a fantasy perspective.

Status: Out. Done for season
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Rangers are planning to Josh Hamilton to a corner outfield spot next season. Sherman writes that the Rangers would make the move in order to protect Hamilton's "fragile body." Limited to just 89 games in 2009 due to various injuries, Hamilton batted .268/.315/.426 with 10 home runs and 54 RBI. He started 55 games in center field in 2009, but is no stranger to right field, either, having started 58 games there over the past two seasons. If the Rangers are unable to re-sign Marlon Byrd, look for Julio Borbon or Craig Gentry to be considered for center field.
