Hamilton went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 6-0 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton made his first MLB start and logged his first career hit in the eighth inning. Pablo Reyes, who had been dealing with abdominal soreness, started at second base but was removed in the fourth inning, suggesting he's still not 100 percent. If Reyes needs time on the injured list, the speedy Hamilton could remain with the Red Sox and get additional starts at shortstop.

Hamilton is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth Thursday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton is one of the fastest prospects in the game, and he stole a base and scored a run as a pinch runner Wednesday after getting called up from Triple-A Worcester. The 25-year-old lefty hitter posted a .255/.339/.486 slash line with 11 home runs and 27 steals in 52 games at Triple-A. He will be sharing middle-infield work with Enrique Hernandez, Christian Arroyo and Pablo Reyes in the short term.

Hamilton served as pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton was called up from Triple-A Worcester after Pablo Reyes (abdomen) sustained an injury. Hamilton could get some starts at shortstop, given the shaky defense of Enrique Hernandez, who started Wednesday. If so, Hamilton will provide a boost on the base paths. The 25-year-old stole 71 bases in 2022 at Double-A Portland and registered 27 thefts over 52 games for the WooSox this season.

Boston recalled Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old can provide infield depth as Pablo Reyes works through some abdominal discomfort and he would take on considerable fantasy appeal if Reyes requires a trip to the 10-day injured list. Hamilton was sporting an .825 OPS with 11 home runs and 27 stolen bases through 52 games this season at the Triple-A level after tallying 70 steals in 119 games last season at Double-A. He'll be making his MLB debut when he first appears in a game for the Red Sox.

Hamilton will join the Red Sox in Minnesota on Wednesday, and he could be added to the active roster if Pablo Reyes (abdomen) has to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton would be making his MLB debut if he is added to the 26-man group. The infielder has some of the best speed in the minors, and he's stolen 27 bases over 208 at-bats for Triple-A Worcester while registering an .825 OPS in the timeframe. The question would be how much Hamilton would play if he does replace Reyes on the roster, but his ability to swipe bags makes him an intriguing player to monitor at the very least.

Hamilton (thumb) was activated off the injured list and started at DH for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton had a pair of hits and walks during the WooSox's 13-5 win over Norfolk after being on the shelf for the previous two weeks. He was also caught stealing for the sixth time in 32 tries this season.

Hamilton was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, retroactive to June 2, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton will be sidelined for at least the next week, but the Red Sox don't expect him to face a lengthy absence. The 25-year-old is performing well in his first taste of the Triple-A level this year with a .267/.344/.524 slash line, 11 homers and 26 stolen bases in 47 games.

Boston optioned Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old Hamilton may not be polished enough as a hitter to profile as a realistic everyday player for Boston down the road, but his elite speed was enough to earn a spot on the Red Sox's 40-man roster this offseason. After impressing in a small sample of action in the Grapefruit League -- Hamilton got on base at a .370 clip and went 5-for-5 on stolen-base attempts over his first 13 games -- he'll now get the chance to hone his skills with Boston's top minor-league affiliate to begin the 2023 season.

Hamilton was promoted from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

One of the fastest players in the minors, Hamilton hit .264/.352/.424 with five home runs and 41 steals on 47 tries in 67 games at High-A. His 18.5 percent strikeout rate and 11.4 percent walk rate were also impressive, but Hamilton turns 24 in September, so he was pretty old for a legitimate prospect at that level. Double-A will be a much more telling test for the lefty-hitting speedster.
