"Josh, essentially, it's all go, until we say he can't go," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "That's the way we treat it with all of our players."
Hamilton has had a difficult time staying in the lineup since going on the disabled list on Aug. 15 with soreness in his left knee. He was activated on Sept. 1 as a pinch-hitter, but the pain was still too much and he underwent surgery on Sept. 11.
The surgery proved to be a minor "cleanup" surgery, and he was back in left field two weeks later. He has played a full game in four of his six starts and is 6-for-24 with two home runs in those games.
