Hamilton started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with two steals in Sunday's 2-1 win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton has hit well since the middle of the month, going 10-for-30 with five extra-base hits and three steals over the last 10 games. As long as the bat holds up, there should be avenues to playing time for him; if not at shortstop, then second base where Vaughn Grissom has not taken hold of an everyday job.

Hamilton started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton started for the seventh time in the last eight games and is batting .375 with a 1.108 OPS during that stretch. With Hamilton producing at the plate and improving defensively, manager Alex Cora can deploy him at shortstop while moving Ceddanne Rafaela back to center field. Add in Jarren Duran and the Red Sox have some speedsters that can put pressure on the opposition. After a shaky start, Hamilton is up to .261/.320/.435 with five steals.

Hamilton will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton has now been in the lineup for five of the last six contests, with four of his starts coming at shortstop. With Hamilton getting the bulk of the reps at shortstop lately, Ceddane Rafaela has gone back to seeing most of his action in center field. Hamilton is 5-for-13 with one home run, two doubles, a triple and a stolen base in his last five tilts.

Hamilton started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over Tampa.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton made his fourth start in the last six games and has hit safely in five straight. Once a forgotten man on the roster -- he started just 12 times and had 50 plate appearances over 35 games after being called up April 6 -- Hamilton is 6-for-15 with four extra-base hits, three runs and three RBI during the hit streak. Vaughn Grissom (.135) has yet to establish himself as the everyday second baseman, so there is an opportunity for Hamilton to become a fantasy-relevant option.

Hamilton hit a solo home run in his lone plate appearance in Sunday's 11-3 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and belted his second home run of the season. He's hit in four straight games and has gone 5-for-11 over that stretch, but his playing time has largely dried up since Ceddanne Rafaela was moved from center field to shortstop. Hamilton's started just five times over the last 21 games.

Hamilton went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, Hamilton swiped his third bag in 15 games for the Red Sox. The 26-year-old infielder is slashing just .214/.283/.310 though, and he offers little else for fantasy purposes. With Vaughn Grissom having recovered from the hamstring strain that cost him the first month-plus of the season and Ceddanne Rafaela still entrenched at shortstop, Hamilton has no clear path to consistent playing time.

Hamilton is expected to start at second base Saturday, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn Grissom was activated Friday and made his season debut as the starting second baseman, but he'll be held out of the lineup for Saturday's afternoon game following a night game. Hamilton will be playing for the first time since April 27 and making his first start since April 25.

Hamilton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton will take a seat for the fifth straight contest and looks as though he won't be in store for a regular role at shortstop in the wake of Trevor Story's season-ending shoulder injury. Instead, the Red Sox have moved Ceddanne Rafaela from the outfield to shortstop, opening up a regular spot in the corner outfield for Wilyer Abreu.

Hamilton is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton had started six of the last seven games at shortstop, but he will yield to Ceddanne Rafaela on Monday. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Wilyer Abreu will become a regular versus righties moving forward, per Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, which would seem to indicate he plans to use Rafaela more at shortstop. It could mean Hamilton squeezed out of regular at-bats.

Hamilton went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton has now reached base six times in six games and is 2-for-2 in stolen base attempts. Unfortunately, he's also struck out seven times in 19 plate appearances and has already made a couple errors at shortstop. Hamilton possesses difference-making speed and should continue to run when he gets on, but his leash as the long-side platoon option at shortstop is short.
