Cincinnati Reds centerfielder Billy Hamilton might not be back for the rest of the season as he continues to deal with a shoulder injury, according to The Cincinnati Inquirer.
Reds manager Bryan Price told The Inquirer that "it's going to be a while before baseball activities start” for Hamilton. Cincy is nowhere near a postseason berth, which means it will take its time with the 24-year-old outfielder.
Hamilton began mobility exercises on Monday as he works his way back from a sprained capsule in his right shoulder that he suffered on Aug. 18. He would be eligible to come off the DL on Sept. 2 but that’s not looking promising. Either way, he still wants to get out there at some point.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that I want to be back out there,” Hamilton said. “This is just boring – from playing baseball every day to watching these guys play, I just want to be out there with my guys. We’re like a big family, you want to be a part of how everything’s going and I want to be out there with those guys and I can’t.”
It’s been a disappointing season for Hamilton this year since he has a .226 BA with 4 HR and 28 RBI in 107 games this season.
