Hamilton (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday or Sunday, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports. According to manager Mike Scioscia, Hamilton felt "a lot better" Friday, after receiving a cortisone shot to treat AC joint soreness in his right shoulder Thursday night. Hamilton will not be available in any capacity for the second game of the series against Minnesota, but it sounds like he has a good chance to return before the end of the week.
