Josh Hamilton left Monday's game in the seventh inning complaining of lightheadedness. Hamilton was 2-for-3 with a double before being replaced by Luis Jimenez. He'll probably be back out there on Tuesday.

Josh Hamilton homered, doubled and walked Thursday in the Angels' 6-5 victory over the Astros. The Angels protested the game in the seventh after the Astros were allowed to make a pitching change without their pitcher having thrown to a batter, but that went away after they overcame a 5-3 deficit to win. Hamilton has now homered in two straight. Wednesday's homer was a cheapy -- it wouldn't have been out in any park except Houston -- but tonight's was legit. He now has four homers and four doubles this season.

Josh Hamilton went 1-for-3 with his third home run of the season in the Angels' loss to the Astros on Wednesday. It was Hamilton's first home run since April 14, and the slugger is hitting just .205 through 33 games. What's more, all three of his home runs have come against his cellar-dwelling division foes. Still, the talent didn't erode overnight and Hamilton could turn it on at any time, making it tough to bench him. Maybe the homer Wednesday was a sign of good things to come.

Josh Hamilton is not in the Angels' lineup Saturday. No word yet on the reason for his absence, but it's likely just a scheduled day of rest. J.B. Shuck is starting in left field, while Hank Conger is serving as the designated hitter.

Josh Hamilton went 0-for-8 with a sac fly and three strikeouts in Monday's loss. Hamilton's average dropped from .219 to .202 tonight, but at least the sac fly gave him his first RBI in two weeks. He still hasn't homered against any team except the Astros this season.

Making his first start this season in the No. 5 spot, Josh Hamilton went 4-for-4 with four singles and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Rangers. Hamilton still hasn't had an extra-base hit in a week, but the Halos will certainly take the 4-for-4 effort. He's expected to continue batting fifth against left-handed pitching but will move back up to the cleanup spot against right-handers.

Josh Hamilton was dropped to fifth in the order for Monday's game against the Rangers. There's been plenty of talk about the Angels potentially flip-flopping Hamilton and Albert Pujols in the order, but this isn't the change many had in mind. Pujols will remain in the No. 3 spot on Monday while Mark Trumbo will bat cleanup. Hamilton is hitting just .176/.247/.324 with two homers and 23 strikeouts over his first 68 at-bats this season.

Josh Hamilton went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the Angels' defeat of the Tigers on Saturday. It was a big day for the entire Anaheim offense except for Hamilton. He's batting .190/.254/.349 in 16 games since signing his five-year, $125 million contract.

Josh Hamilton went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's series-clinching win over the Astros. Hamilton hit a two-run shot off Rhiner Cruz late to give the Angels a 4-1 lead and also had a triple in the third inning. After a slow start, Hamilton is finally starting to get back on track. There's no reason why he can't keep this up with an upcoming series against the Twins this week.
