Hamilton may not play again in '09 News: From The Sports Xchange notes: Out of the lineup for a second consecutive day, Josh Hamilton summed up his situation for the final week of the season this way: "I'm playing when I'm able to play," he said Monday of his injured back. "It hasn't stopped hurting. The three injections I got helped, and for a while it didn't get worse, but once I got out there and ran, it started up again. (Sunday) I couldn't go. Today, I feel a little better. I can probably pinch hit, but if I got on base, they'd have to run for me." After missing three weeks because of a pinched nerve in his back, Hamilton returned to the lineup Friday. He played two games, then sat out Sunday. "If I played another whole game, it would probably be the same situation," he said. "I'd have to take a couple of days off to rest it."
