Josh Hamilton is headed back to Houston to see his orthopedist, and the Texas Rangers expect that the former league MVP will have arthroscopic surgery Monday on his left knee.
Assistant general manager Mike Daly said that the Rangers haven’t discussed Hamilton’s future with the club but for now are willing to give him the necessary time to return to the field.
“Josh has a great desire to play,” Daly said. “We feel good that Josh is going to play.”
The timeline, though, will depend on Hamilton’s visit with Dr. Walt Lowe, who performed the knee reconstruction June 8.
