Brewers' David Hamilton: Blasts fourth homer
Hamilton went 3-for-5 with a home run, two steals, four RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 22-0 blowout win over the Mariners.
Hamilton added to Milwaukee's already commanding lead with a three-run homer in the sixth inning. He would drive in another run with an RBI single one frame later, giving him a career-high four RBI. The long ball snapped a 42-game homer drought and was his fourth of the season. Through 95 games this season, Hamilton is slashing .239/.319/.333 with nine doubles, two triples, 21 RBI, 40 runs scored and 24 stolen bases.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Held out against lefty
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will be on the bench for a second straight day to close out the series in Los Angeles while the Dodgers send another lefty (Tarik Skubal) to the bump. With Hamilton and Brice Turang (knee) both sitting, the Brewers will open up starts at third base for Andrew Vaughn and second base for Jonathan Ornelas.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Riding pine Saturday
Hamilton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Sitting again Monday
Hamilton is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday.
Hamilton will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game while Joey Ortiz starts at third base and bats ninth. Hamilton has gone 1-for-7 with one steal and three strikeouts in his two games since returning from the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Taking seat against southpaw
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
After making his return from the injured list Friday, the left-handed hitter went 1-for-7 with a stolen base over two games against right-handed starters. Hamilton will head to the bench Sunday while southpaw Kyle Freeland toes the rubber for Colorado. Hamilton could be in store for a part-time role versus righties, however, as Joey Ortiz has made a case for more opportunities at the hot corner. Since the start of July, Ortiz has produced a .921 OPS over 20 games.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Back from IL
The Brewers reinstated Hamilton (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Before being placed on the injured list July 7, the 28-year-old had 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.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Sent out on rehab assignment
Hamilton (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
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 from the injured list Friday. 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.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Nearing rehab assignment
Manager Pat Murphy said that Hamilton (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hamilton landed on the injured list July 7 due to a strained left hamstring, and although he wasn't able to return immediately after the All-Star break, he doesn't appear to be 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. The two players may split time at the hot corner more evenly once Hamilton is reinstated from the IL.

Brewers' David Hamilton: 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.
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.

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

Brewers' David Hamilton: Could land on IL
Hamilton (hamstring) may require a trip to the injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The team will likely hold off on making anything official until re-evaluating Hamilton on Tuesday morning. However, manager Pat Murphy stated after Monday's win that the club may need to make a roster move as a result of the 28-year-old's injury, especially with a doubleheader looming Tuesday.

Brewers' David Hamilton: 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.
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.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Belts first homer of season
Hamilton went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
Hamilton took Kai-Wei Teng deep for his first homer of the season in the top of the third inning. Seeing regular playing time at shortstop and third base for Milwaukee, Hamilton's long ball snapped an 0-for-12 skid. He's slashing a paltry .226/.314/.282 with four extra-base hits, including the one homer, nine RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and a 15:29 BB:K across 147 plate appearances this season.
