Josh Hamilton

Josh Hamilton (knee) scratched from Rangers' lineup Wednesday

Josh Hamilton has been scratched with soreness in his left knee. Ryan Strausborger will get the start in left field and bat ninth.

What It Means:

Hamilton has been struggling with lower body injuries this summer, though the severity of this one remains to be seen.

Though Hamilton's production this year has been middling, hitting .252/.299/.415 with a 3.11 wOBA, Strausborger only has nine Major League plate appearances to his name, and the Rangers' offense will take a hit with this injury.
