Sitting again Monday Hamilton is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday.

Taking seat against southpaw Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact After making his return from the injured list Friday, the left-handed-hitting Hamilton was included in the lineup at third base for both of the first two games of the series when the Brewers faced right-handed starters, going 1-for-7 with a stolen base between the contests. Hamilton will head to the bench Sunday while southpaw Kyle Freeland toes the rubber for Colorado, but he still could be in store for something closer to a part-time role versus righties while Joey Ortiz has made a case for earning more opportunities at the hot corner. Since the start of July, Ortiz has produced a .921 OPS over 20 games.

Brewers activate David Hamilton from injured list and designate Braden Shewmake for assignment

Back from IL The Brewers reinstated Hamilton (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Impact After completing a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, Hamilton's 17-day stint on the IL comes to an end. Before being placed on the injured list on July 7, the 28-year-old slashed .240/.317/.333 with three homers and 15 RBI in 237 plate appearances. Milwaukee designated Braden Shewmake for assignment to make room for Hamilton on the active roster.

Sent out on rehab assignment Hamilton (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Hamilton has missed the last two weeks of action with a left hamstring strain but has been cleared to test things out in games. If all goes well, the speedy infielder could return for the start of the Brewers' road trip early next week. Joey Ortiz has posted a 1.013 OPS with three home runs in 11 games since Hamilton was hurt, so Hamilton could operate in more of a reserve role when he returns if the Brewers want to play the hot hand at third base.

Nearing rehab assignment Manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Hamilton (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment sometime next week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hamilton went on the injured list July 7 with a strained left hamstring, and although he wasn't able to return immediately after the All-Star break, it seems like he isn't too far away from activation. Joey Ortiz has filled in admirably as Hamilton's replacement at third base, posting a 1.054 OPS in Milwaukee's last eight games, so the two players may split time at the hot corner more evenly once Hamilton is cleared to return.

Not ready to return after break Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Hamilton (hamstring) will miss "a couple series" following the All-Star break, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact After landing on the injured list Tuesday due to a left hamstring strain, Hamilton will end up needing more than the minimum 10 days to heal up from the injury. Murphy's comments indicate that the speedy infielder will remain out for the Brewers' first six games of the second half, and it's unclear whether Hamilton will need a rehab assignment before making his return from the shelf. Joey Ortiz will likely receive the bulk of the reps at third base while Hamilton is stuck on the IL.
