David Hamilton Out Against Arizona
3 months agoBoston Red Sox middle infielder David Hamilton will retreat to the bench on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Fenway Park. With Hamilton starting on the bench, rookie Mickey Gasper will make the start at second base and will hit seventh for Boston versus Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen. Injuries to Trevor Story and Vaughn Grissom this year have thrust Hamilton into increased playing time in Boston, and he's responded with a .254/.308/.407 slash line with eight home runs, 27 RBI, 32 stolen bases and 44 runs scored in 280 total at-bats. His speed obviously plays in all fantasy formats. Hamilton has hit .280 (4-for-50) with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI and six stolen bases in 16 games in August. Gasper will be playing in just his fifth career game in the big leagues and is still searching for his first hit after drawing three walks and striking out once in four plate appearances.
