Hamilton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.
The Brewers will send the Hamilton to the bench for the series finale along with fellow left-handed hitters Sal Frelick and Garrett Mitchell while Milwaukee stocks up on some extra right-handed bats to counter Guardians southpaw Parker Messick. Hamilton had started in Milwaukee's last seven games, going 3-for-20 at the dish over that stretch to bring his batting average down to .230 for the season.
