Hamilton to have MRI on left knee on Friday

MINNEAPOLIS -- Josh Hamilton is scheduled to have an MRI on his sore left knee on Friday after the Rangers return to Texas.

Hamilton was out of the lineup for a second straight day while dealing with soreness in the knee. He has already been bothered by left groin and hamstring issues this season and his problems with the knee may be related to that.

"When those aren't allowed to work like they are supposed to, they haven't kept the stress off the knee," Hamilton said.

Hamilton has had issues with his knees in the past, usually with a bone bruise.
