Josh Hamilton to be activated by Rangers Monday

Josh Hamilton will be back in the bigs before long.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Jeff Wilson reports that Hamilton will fly to Cleveland Sunday to join the Texas Rangers for their 3-game series with the Indians that begins Monday. The team will activate the slugger on Monday.

“I am excited about it,” Hamilton said Saturday night. “It’s been a process from surgery to now, to work hard and get healthy and mentally focused.”

Hamilton was acquired in a trade from the Angels towards the end of April. He had shoulder surgery in February and was recovering in Texas, away from the Angels’ spring training facility.
