Billy Hamilton (concussion) makes surprise return for Reds
Cincinnati Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton (concussion) is back in the starting lineup Thursday against the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Apparently, he cleared the concussion protocol after getting smacked in the face with a ball during Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Cubs. Hamilton will hit seventh for the Reds while Gio Gonzalez takes the mound for Washington.
Hamilton has been oft-injured this season, but he is putting together a better slash line this year than in the past, hitting .255/.296/.385 with a .301 wOBA, 19 stolen bases (fifth-most in the majors) and 33 runs in 220 plate appearances. We project him to cool off to a much lower .281 wOBA over the rest of the season, but we expect the 25-year-old to steal 18 more bags in that span.
