Hamilton signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Thursday, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton is a defense-first catcher who is somehow 1-for-23 with 19 strikeouts during his brief chances in the majors. He'll give the Angels some catching depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Hamilton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was recently designated for assignment but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Hamilton spent a couple weeks with the big club and went 0-for-5 with a walk.

Hamilton was designated for assignment Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is being made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man and 26-man rosters for the signing of Jorge Alfaro. Hamilton was up with the Red Sox for a couple weeks but hardly saw the field, going hitless in six plate appearances.

Hamilton's contract was purchased from Triple-A Worcester prior to Thursday's game against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old catcher slashed .180/.284/.310 in 30 games at Triple-A. Hamilton should serve as Connor Wong's backup while Reese McGuire is on the injured list with an oblique strain.

The Red Sox will select Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Reese McGuire (oblique) almost certainly headed for the injured list, Hamilton will join the Red Sox to serve as the backup catcher behind Connor Wong. Hamilton has a little bit of MLB experience, logging one hit in 18 at-bats last season with the Twins, and he is currently slashing .173/.281/.306 with 13 RBI across 114 plate appearances in the minors.

The Red Sox reassigned Hamilton to minor-league camp Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton had a solid season in Triple-A last year, slashing .238/.371/.447 with 42 RBI through 251 plate appearances, and has also logged a 1.147 OPS in spring training. If Hamilton proves he can maintain a similar level of output in Triple-A again, he'd likely return to the majors at some point this year.

The Red Sox outrighted Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton will remain in the Boston organization after he cleared waivers upon being designated for assignment last week. The Red Sox previously claimed Hamilton in October off waivers from the Twins, with whom he posted a .449 OPS over 23 plate appearances in 2022.

Hamilton was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers by Boston in mid-October but won't stick on the 40-man roster through the offseason. Hamilton made his big-league debut with Minnesota last season and went 1-for-18 with 14 strikeouts and four walks.

Hamilton was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton made 23 plate appearances for Minnesota in 2022 and recorded just one hit. After being placed on waivers earlier in the week, he now joins Boston as organizational catching depth. Abraham Almonte was designated for assignment by the Red Sox in a corresponding move.

The Twins recalled Hamilton from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton appeared in three games and went 0-for-5 before being demoted at the beginning of August. He figures to play sparingly as long as Gary Sanchez and Sandy Leon are healthy and active.
