David Hamilton - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Lands on injured list The Brewers placed Hamilton on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a strained left hamstring.

Impact The 28-year-old departed Monday's victory in St. Louis due to hamstring tightness and will require a trip to the IL after being diagnosed with a strain. It's unclear how long Hamilton is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated immediately out of the All-Star break late next week. Greg Jones was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move, but the more consequential promotion occurred earlier in the day when the Brewers called up top outfield prospect Luis Lara.

Exits with hamstring tightness Hamilton was removed from Monday's game against the Cardinals due to left hamstring tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Hamilton drove a ball to the gap in the top of the seventh inning to plate a pair of runs, but he appeared to be in discomfort after putting on the brakes after rounding second base and scurrying back to the bag. He's presumably headed for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the club has more information to share on the severity of his injury. Joey Ortiz would be in line for more work at the hot corner if Hamilton is forced to miss additional game action.
