Hamilton exited Thursday's game against the Guardians with an apparent lower-body injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Hamilton was covering first base in the sixth inning and appeared to suffer the injury while stretching to reach the bag. He threw one warmup pitch that sailed to the backstop, and he was quickly pulled thereafter. There is no official diagnosis, but Hamilton will likely miss at least some action.

Hamilton picked up the save in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing one hit over a scoreless 10th inning while striking out two. Hamilton entered the contest in the bottom of the 10th after the Yankees took a one-run lead in the top of the frame. He proceeded to allow a leadoff single to Cal Raleigh to advance Julio Rodriguez to third, but lucked out after getting Randy Arozarena to go down on strikes as Rodriguez was also picked off for the second out. The right-hander then got the final batter to go down on strikes to secure his first save of the campaign. Hamilton has now recorded multiple strikeouts in three-consecutive outings and hasn't allowed a run over four appearances this month. It still appears that Luke Weaver, who pitched in the ninth inning Wednesday, will see most of the remaining save opportunities for the Yankees moving forward, though it's possible that Hamilton may have thrown his hat in the mix as well.

The Yankees reinstated Hamilton (lat) from the 60-day injured list Saturday. A right lat strain has kept Hamilton sidelined since mid-June, but he'll now return to New York's bullpen after throwing four scoreless innings during a rehab assignment, striking out six batters and walking none. The 29-year-old righty posted a 4.55 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 29.2 big-league frames before getting injured and will likely be used in middle relief as he adjusts to facing major-league hitters again. With Clarke Schmidt (lat) also returning from the 60-day IL, both Phil Bickford and Nick Burdi were DFA'd in corresponding moves.
