Hamilton sidelined with back pain
Texas Rangers star outfielder Josh Hamilton will now be sidelined indefinitely because of back pain.
Hamilton has been dealing with the injury for more than a week now and will be sidelined through at least the next week. He will be treated through rest and cortisone shots, which the team hopes will make a difference in the next couple of days. It’s been a rough season for Hamilton, who has struggled through several injuries while trying to match last year’s terrific performance.
The Rangers trail the Boston Red Sox by just a few games in the American League wild card race, so they cannot afford to be without their best hitter.
