Rangers' Hamilton To Return Monday

POSTED: 7:11 pm HST July 5, 2009

(Sports Network) - Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton is expected to return to the team Monday.

Hamilton, who was voted a starting outfielder for the American League All-Star team, has been out since June 1, when he was put on the disabled list with an abdominal injury that required surgery.

Hamilton will re-join the Rangers in time for their game against the Angels in Anaheim.

After a breakout 2008 campaign in which he hit .304 with 32 home runs and 130 RBI, Hamilton has been injury-stricken so far in 2009, hitting the disabled list twice after running into outfield walls on two separate occasions. In 35 games this season, the former first overall pick (1999) is hitting .240 with six homers and 24 RBI for Texas.

In a corresponding move, the Rangers sent first baseman Chris Davis to Triple- A Oklahoma City. In 77 games this season, Davis has batted .202 with 15 homers, 33 RBI and 114 strikeouts.
