Removed from ALCS roster Hamilton (calf) has been removed from the Yankees' ALCS roster, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Diagnosed with calf injury Hamilton exited Thursday's game against the Guardians with left calf tightness,Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hamilton suffered the injury while stretching for the first base bag in the sixth inning. He threw one warmup pitch but quickly exited after sailing it to the backstop. The severity of the issue remains unclear.

Leaves with injury Hamilton exited Thursday's game against the Guardians with an apparent lower-body injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hamilton was covering first base in the sixth inning and appeared to suffer the injury while stretching to reach the bag. He threw one warmup pitch that sailed to the backstop, and he was quickly pulled thereafter. There is no official diagnosis, but Hamilton will likely miss at least some action.

Nabs first save Hamilton picked up the save in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing one hit over a scoreless 10th inning while striking out two.
Impact Hamilton entered the contest in the bottom of the 10th after the Yankees took a one-run lead at the top of the frame. He proceeded to allow a leadoff single to Cal Raleigh to advance Julio Rodriguez to third, but lucked out after getting Randy Arozarena to go down on strikes as Rodriguez was also picked off for the second out. The right-hander then got the final batter to go down on strikes to secure his first save of the campaign. Hamilton has now recorded multiple strikeouts in three-consecutive outings and hasn't allowed a run over four appearances this month. It still appears that Luke Weaver, who pitched in the ninth inning Wednesday, will see most of the remaining save opportunities for the Yankees moving forward, though it's possible that Hamilton may have thrown his hat in the mix as well.

Back from injured list The Yankees reinstated Hamilton (lat) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Impact A right lat strain has kept Hamilton sidelined since mid-June, but he'll now return to New York's bullpen after throwing four scoreless innings during a rehab assignment while striking out six batters and walking none. The 29-year-old righty posted a 4.55 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 29.2 big-league frames before getting injured and will likely be used in middle relief as he adjusts to facing major-league hitters again. With Clarke Schmidt (lat) also returning from the 60-day IL, both Phil Bickford and Nick Burdi were DFA'd in corresponding moves.

Set for rehab outing Wednesday Hamilton (lat) tossed a bullpen session Sunday and will make a rehab appearance with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday, per the Associated Press.
Impact Hamilton was expected to pitch for Somerset on Friday, but he was scratched due to back spasms. The reliever is apparently past the issue given his ability to toss a bullpen Sunday. Wednesday's outing could be Hamilton's final minor-league appearance, and he could be back in New York's bullpen shortly thereafter.

Scratched from rehab outing Hamilton (lat) was scratched from his scheduled rehab appearance at Double-A Somerset on Friday due to back spasms, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hamilton has been on the injured list since mid-June due to a right lat strain and would have likely been making his final minor-league appearance before rejoining the Yankees' bullpen. Instead, his activation will almost certainly be delayed, and there's no telling how far away he is from a return.
AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE
Moved to 60-day IL The Yankees transferred Hamilton (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Monday.
Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Duke Ellis. Hamilton's timetable remains unaffected, as he's already missed more than 60 days with a right lat strain. The reliever began a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset over the weekend, striking out the side in a perfect inning in his lone appearance. He could be back when rosters expand, if not sooner.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Rehab assignment scheduled Hamilton (lat) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact Hamilton was able to throw two innings in a simulated game Tuesday without any issue, and he's now been given the green light to pitch in minor-league games this weekend. The 29-year-old righty has been on the injured list since June with a right lat strain and will likely require multiple appearances in the minors before rejoining the Yankees' bullpen.
AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE
Will face hitters this week Hamilton (lat) is scheduled to toss a live bullpen session this week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hamilton has recently been upping the intensity of his bullpen sessions, and because he's cleared that hurdle without any setbacks, he's now ready to face live hitters. The right-hander could subsequently move on to a minor-league rehab assignment and may be back in the big-league bullpen by the end of the month. Hamilton had been struggling prior to landing on the injured list, allowing eight runs (seven earned) over four innings spanning his previous four appearances.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
Slated for another bullpen Friday Hamilton (lat) came out of his bullpen session Tuesday feeling fine and will toss another session Friday, per the Associated Press.
Impact Hamilton is ramping back up as he looks to return from a lat strain he suffered in mid-June. Tuesday's bullpen was deemed as "high-intensity," so the fact that he emerged without any setbacks suggests that he's getting closer to a minor-league rehab assignment. Hamilton may be asked to toss live batting practice before heading out on a rehab assignment, though.
AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE
Increasing intensity of throwing Hamilton (lat) is scheduled to throw a high-intensity bullpen session Tuesday, per MLB.com.
Impact Hamilton is recovering from the lat strain he suffered in mid-June. The righty reliever resumed throwing in early July but has yet to face live hitters. That could be his next step if Tuesday's session goes well, and Hamilton may be able to begin a minor-league rehab assignment within the next two weeks with a goal of rejoining the Yankees in late August or early September.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
To throw live batting practice soon Hamilton (lat) is expected to be cleared to throw live batting practice soon, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hamilton has been shelved since mid-June with a right lat strain but is almost ready to take the next step in his recovery. There's no timetable for the reliever's return yet, but he wouldn't appear far off from a rehab assignment if all goes well.
JULY 31 • ROTOWIRE
Begins throwing program Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Hamilton (lat) has begun a throwing program, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Hamilton was slated to be shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks after a mid-grade lat strain sent him to the injured list June 18, so he seems to still be right on schedule in his rehab process. The Yankees have yet to set a target return date for the 29-year-old, but a timeline may emerge once he's thrown a few bullpen sessions.
JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Not yet throwing Hamilton (lat) has been rehabbing but hasn't yet resumed throwing, per MLB.com.
Impact Hamilton landed on the injured list June 18 due to a mid-grade right lat strain. Initial expectations were that he would be shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks, so it's not surprising that the reliever hasn't yet reached that part of his rehab. Hamilton isn't likely to return to the Yankees' bullpen until after the All-Star break.
