Billy Hamilton (finger) hoping to return for Reds on Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton (sprained index finger) said he thinks he could return to Cactus League play on Thursday.

What It Means:

Hamilton suffered the injury during batting practice on Tuesday but it doesn't sound like much of an issue. The 27-year-old center fielder swiped a career-high 59 bags last season and has at least 56 steals in four consecutive campaigns.

numberFire's models project Hamilton to bat .250 with 3 home runs, 36 RBI, 70 runs scored, and 52 steals in 572 plate appearances this season.
