Josh Hamilton returned to the lineup a few nights ago against the Padres on September second, after yet another trip to the disabled list. It was his first game since August 15th, as knee and lower body issues have become a constantly recurring occurance for Hamilton, keeping him out of many games. Against the Padres and in the series opener against the Angels, he got one at bat in each game, getting a hit against San Diego. His role as a reinforcement will be much different from what he has been doing over the last few years.
