Wed Aug 30 202320:02Rays Sign Billy Hamilton To Minor-League Deal
The Tampa Bay Rays are signing speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton to a minor-league deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Hamilton last played on July 7 for the Chicago White Sox's Triple-A affiliate because of a right-shoulder injury, so he's going to need a little bit of time to ramp up after he was released last week. He played in only three games at the big-league level for the White Sox this year and struggled at Triple-A Charlotte to the tune of a .147/.261/.253 slash line with a home run, three doubles, one triple, four RBI, three stolen bases and 14 runs scored in 28 games played. At best, Hamilton will provide some speed as a late-game pinch-runner if he makes it back to the majors before the end of the season.

Tue May 30 202312:21Billy Hamilton Approaching Rehab Assignment
Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (hamstring) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in the next week to 10 days, according to general manager Rick Hahn. Hamilton has been sidelined since May 10 due to a left-hamstring strain, but he could return to the White Sox in early June as long as he doesn't have any setbacks with his hammy on his rehab assignment. The 32-year-old speedster is hitless in just two at-bats for the Pale Hose over three games this year, and he won't be guaranteed a spot on the team's active roster once Chicago deems he's healthy enough to return. Even if Hamilton rejoins the White Sox, he'll continue to serve as a bench player mostly for his speed on the basepaths.

Tue May 2 202312:28Tim Anderson Returning From IL, Billy Hamilton Coming Up
The Chicago White Sox will activate shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) and infielder Hanser Alberto (quadriceps) from the injured list on Tuesday, with outfielder Billy Hamilton also getting called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Infielder Lenyn Sosa will be optioned to Charlotte after hitting .151/.167/.245 in 16 games. Anderson's return will move Elvis Andrus back to second base. Obviously, fantasy managers will want to get Anderson back in their starting lineups immediately, as he is one of the best all-around shortstops in the game. Hamilton is a career .239/.292/.326 hitter with 324 stolen bases, but he had gone just 9-for-48 (.188) with three steals in 11 games on the farm. Hamilton will be a bench option for the Sox with plus speed for those desperate in AL-only leagues.

Sun Dec 18 202212:41Billy Hamilton Heads Back To The White Sox
The Chicago White Sox re-signed outfielder Billy Hamilton to a minor-league deal on Saturday that includes a non-roster invite to spring training, according to a source. Hamilton was a contributor on the 2021 American League Central title team. He split the 2022 campaign with the Miami Marlins and Minnesota Twins, slashing a combined .050/.136/.050 with 13 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in only 23 plate appearances and 37 games played. The 32-year-old hit .220/.242/.378 in 135 plate appearances for the Pale Hose in 2021 with nine stolen bases. At best, the veteran speedster will be a bench option for Chicago in 2023, but he's highly unlikely to earn regular playing time in the outfield unless injuries hit the White Sox hard.

Mon Mar 21 202214:45Mariners Sign Billy Hamilton To Minors Deal
The Seattle Mariners have reportedly signed outfielder Billy Hamilton to a minor league deal, per The Athletic's Corey Brock. Hamilton recently appeared in 71 games for the Chicago White Sox during the 2021 season, hitting .220 with a .240 on-base percentage, two home runs, and nine stolen bases for the American League Central club. As of now, Seattle's current outfield options include Mitch Haniger, Jesse Winker, Kyle Lewis, Jarred Kelenic, Taylor Trammell, and Julio Rodriguez.

Sat Aug 21 202112:56Billy Hamilton Begins Rehab Assignment Saturday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, according to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun Times. Hamilton is in the Knights' lineup as the designated hitter on Saturday and is leading off against the Norfolk Tides. He's been out of action since the beginning of August after suffering a right oblique strain, Hamilton has provided some value in deeper formats this year, as he's slashing .226/.245/.396 with two homers, eight steals, 11 RBI and 19 runs scored. His only asset is his speed, and when healthy he can be a streaming option in daily leagues when he's in the lineup.

Sun Aug 1 202111:19Billy Hamilton Heads To IL, Jimmy Lambert Recalled
Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 31. The switch-hitting speedy outfielder has been below average with the bat during his time in Chicago. His absence won't make much of an impact in the lineup. In the meantime, Jimmy Lambert has been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. The right-hander pitcher has a small sample size with the White Sox this season and won't be worth rostering in fantasy formats.

Mon Jul 5 202100:18Ohtani homers again as Angels beat Orioles 6-5
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 31st homer in the third, and Juan Lagares ended it with a two-run double in the ninth inning of the Los Angeles Angels’ 6-5 comeback victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. Cedric Mullins hit a tiebreaking homer for Baltimore in the ninth in his first game after making his first All-Star team, but the Angels jumped all over Cole Sulser (2-1) without making an out in the bottom half. After Los Angeles loaded the bases on a walk and two short singles, Lagares doubled to the gap in right-center, extending the Angels’ winning streak to five games. Raisel Iglesias (6-3) got the win. Ohtani tied the MLB record for the most homers in a season by a Japanese-born player when he blasted a 459-foot solo shot off Thomas Eshelman to straightaway center. It was his 14th homer in 17 games overall. Less than an hour later, Ohtani became the first player in major league history to be picked for an All-Star Game as both a hitter and... [More]

Sun Jul 4 202118:37Pirates stop Brewers' 11-game win streak with 2-0 victory
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tyler Anderson pitched seven sparkling innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped Milwaukee’s 11-game winning streak Sunday with a 2-0 victory over the Brewers. Kevin Newman homered and Wilmer Difo had an RBI double as the Pirates stopped a six-game slide. Milwaukee managed just three hits off Anderson (4-8), who broke a personal five-game skid. The left-hander struck out six and walked two while throwing 93 pitches. Milwaukee’s win streak was the second-longest in franchise history. The Brewers won their first 13 games in 1987. David Bednar and Richard Rodriguez finished the four-hitter with one inning apiece. Rodriguez earned his 11th save in 13 opportunities by completing the Pirates’ third shutout of the season. Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta (7-3) had control issues with five walks in six innings. But he allowed just two runs and three hits.

Sun Jul 4 202102:18Walker shuts down Yanks, Mets fans cheer 8-3 win in Bronx
NEW YORK (AP) — Taijuan Walker took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, Brandon Nimmo provided a spark in his return from the injured list and the New York Mets beat the crosstown Yankees 8-3 Saturday to open a three-game Subway Series. The Mets already led 8-0 when Aaron Judge homered with one out in the sixth to end Walker’s bid for the record-tying eighth no-hitter in the majors this season. Walker (7-3) was lifted after 5 2/3 innings and got a standing ovation from Mets fans among the season-high crowd of 40,047 at Yankee Stadium. Jordan Montgomery (3-3) stranded five Mets baserunners over the first three innings to keep it scoreless, but the visitors broke through in the fifth. Nimmo led off with a single, one of his three hits, and scored the first run. TIGERS 11, WHITE SOX 5 DETROIT (AP) — Eric Haase hit a three-run, inside-the-park homer and later cleared the fence for another three-run drive, and Detroit snapped Chicago's five-game winning streak.

Wed Jun 30 202101:31White Sox place Lamb on IL with strained right quadriceps
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox placed Jake Lamb on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and reinstated fellow outfielder Billy Hamilton from the IL. The AL Central-leading White Sox also recalled first baseman Gavin Sheets from Triple-A Charlotte and optioned outfielder Luis González to their top farm club. AL MVP José Abreu started Tuesday night's 7-6 victory over Minnesota after the first baseman was hit on his left knee by a pitch on Sunday. Abreu walked twice and scored a run. But third baseman Yoán Moncada was sidelined by a “barking” right shoulder, according to manager Tony La Russa. “I know he got some treatment and it’s still not right, so just not going to push it,” La Russa said. The White Sox also announced center fielder Luis Robert has been cleared to increase his level of baseball activities at the team's complex in Arizona. Robert tore his right hip flexor on May 2. The move means Robert could be cleared for a minor league rehab assignment in approximately four weeks.... [More]
