Billy Hamilton Put On Injured List
4 years agoSan Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler announced on Thursday that outfielder Billy Hamilton and left-handed reliever Jarlin Garcia have been put on the 10-day injured list. The two players are on the injured list for "medical reasons" but wasn't more specific. It's likely that they've either tested positive for COVID-19 or have come in contact with someone who has. Hamilton figured to be in the mix for a starting gig in center field, but this could affect those plans. Garcia was claimed off waivers in February from Miami and had a 3.02 ERA in 53 games. Mauricio Dubon, Jaylin Davis, Mike Yastrezemski and Steven Duggar have taken reps in center with Hamilton absent. Hamilton, 29, is strictly valuable for his stolen base prowess if sees enough playing time in 2020. Before 2018, he had four straight seasons of 50-plus swipes with the Reds.
