Swipes bag as fill-in Hamilton entered Thursday's game in the fourth inning and went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in an 8-5 win over the Twins.

Impact The removal of third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) from the game set off a chain reaction that included Hamilton coming off the bench to center field, Brian Goodwin moving from center to left field, and Andrew Vaughn shifting from left to third base. This was Hamilton's most extensive activity since he was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The stolen base was his sixth.

Ditches switch hitting Hamilton, who is a switch hitter, will hit exclusively from the right side upon his return from the injured list, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Hamilton spent time on the IL with an oblique strain that bothers him only when swinging from the left side. As such, he's made the decision to bat right-handed only going forward. Hamilton entered Tuesday's game as a defensive replacement but did not get any at-bats.

White Sox place Lamb on IL with strained right quadriceps

The Chicago White Sox have placed Jake Lamb on the 10-day injured list and reinstated fellow outfielder Billy Hamilton from the IL

JUNE 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Back from IL The White Sox reinstated Hamilton (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Chicago placed Jake Lamb (quadriceps) on the IL in a corresponding move and also optioned Luis Gonzalez to Triple-A Charlotte, so Hamilton should reclaim duties as the White Sox's fourth outfielder as he rejoins the active roster. Hamilton, who had been out since June 5 with a right oblique strain, has gotten on base at a lowly .247 clip over his 75 plate appearances this season, but he's gone 5-for-5 on stolen-base attempts and is a plus defender in the outfielder.

Backing off after setback Hamilton felt a pinch in his oblique Thursday and has backed off his rehab work, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Return not yet imminent White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that Hamilton (oblique) has yet to resume taking full batting practice, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reading between the lines of La Russa's comments, Hamilton has been able to perform some baseball activities since landing on the injured list June 6 with a right oblique strain, but the outfielder doesn't appear to be in the day-to-day stage of his recovery from the injury at this point. Once he's able to take full BP without any discomfort, Hamilton could be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment shortly thereafter.
