Reds' Billy Hamilton leaves game with strained oblique

Cincinnati Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton left Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a strained left oblique.

What It Means:

It was a third-inning check swing that did the damage, and while Hamilton won't land on the disabled list, it's unclear how long the issue may keep him out.

While Hamilton's numbers from the dish this year aren't great, they are improvements from his past two seasons. He is slashing .260/.321/.343 with a .294 wOBA through 460 plate appearances, while his 58 stolen bases, a career high, are the most in the majors.
