Billy Hamilton

Billy Hamilton is set to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Charlotte.

Fantasy Impact

Hamilton has been sidelined for about a month with a left hamstring strain. He'll likely re-join the White Sox at some point later this month assuming all goes well.

Billy Hamilton went 0-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base in the White Sox 7-3 loss to the Twins on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Hamilton entered the game to replace Andrew Vaughn and took advantage with his second steal of the season. He is still not likely to have a consistent role on the White Sox and therefore is not a fantasy relevant player.

Billy Hamilton had his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Hamilton is slashing .188/.328/.271 with two RBI and three stolen bases in 17 games with Triple-A Charlotte. Hamilton likely will see more time as a pinch runner and late inning defensive replacement. Fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire.

Billy Hamilton and the Mariners have agreed to a minor-league deal.

Fantasy Impact

While the contract details are unknown, Hamilton was invited to Major League spring training. The 31-year-old speedster would be looking to make his seventh major-league roster in his ten-year career. He does not contribute much with the bat, but he does have a positive total fielding runs above average, a stat that measures how many runs saved a player's defense is worth.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Hamilton has been sidelined since August 1 due to a right oblique strain. He will begin a rehab assignment Saturday and is trending in the right direction to returning to the big leagues. The speedy outfielder slashed .226/.245/.396 with eight stolen bases over 57 games before landing on the injured list. Hamilton is worth rostering in deep-league formats for fantasy managers in search of steals.
