Josh Hamilton (Shoulder) could return to the Angels lineup on Saturday.
Hamilton sat out Friday's contest due to renewed soreness in his left shoulder. Despite not being available to pinch-hit on Friday, there is still a chance that he could return to the lineup on Saturday. If not, Kole Calhoun is likely to draw another start.

Josh Hamilton is not in Friday's lineup against the Brewers.
Hamilton has been bothered by some tenderness in his shoulder recently and the Angels won't have the luxury of the DH under NL rules, so he'll get the night off. It's unclear whether he'll be in the lineup on Saturday and Sunday, so fantasy owners should have a backup plan in place.

Josh Hamilton (shoulder) is in Wednesday's lineup against the Rays.
Hamilton came out of Tuesday's game with a tender left shoulder, but it's not enough to keep him out of the lineup. He's serving as the DH, though.

Josh Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored on Friday against the Mariners.
You've very likely seen more shampoo commercials staring Josh Hamilton than actual Hamilton home runs over the course of this season, though Hamilton seems to strike out at the same rate as those Head & Shoulders' spots air. He may have a "double dose of confidence" borne through H&S's corporate partnership with Old Spice, but that conviction hasn't shown during a campaign where he's hitting .231 with a .288 on-base percentage and 126/36 K/BB ratio over 120 games.

Josh Hamilton hit a walkoff homer off Josh Fields in the bottom of the 10th to give the Angels a 6-5 win over the Astros on Saturday.
Probably the highlight of Hamilton's season thus far. He's hit .342 with two homers and eight RBI in his nine games. It doesn't necessarily mean that a big finish is in store, but his average and OPS should continue to climb.

Josh Hamilton launched a three-run homer and drew two walks Friday against the Indians.
Hamilton was dropped down to the No. 6 spot for Friday's game after going just 2-for-26 with seven strikeouts and no walks over his last seven games, but it's hard to believe Mike Scioscia will bat Chris Nelson above him in the lineup for long. Fantasy owners have no choice but to stick with the struggling outfielder in hopes that he has one big power streak in him. Time is running short, though.

Josh Hamilton launched his 15th home run of the season Saturday in the Angels' loss to the A's.
Hamilton now has five home runs in July -- more than he had in June or April. But the highly-paid 32-year-old outfielder still carries a disappointing .689 OPS.
