• Red Sox's David Hamilton: Smacks rare homer

  09/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hamilton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Athletics. The homer was Hamilton's fifth of the season and his first in the month of September. The lefty-hitting infielder has struggled mightily at the plate in 2025, and he has been unable to take on a strong-side platoon role over the righty-hitting Romy Gonzalez at second base. Hamilton will likely continue to be used primarily as a pinch runner and defensive replacement, batting .201 with four doubles, 17 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 87 games.

• Red Sox's David Hamilton: Reaches 20-steal mark

  09/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hamilton went 1-for-3 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks. Hamilton's playing time has dropped significantly over the last week -- this was his first start since Aug. 30. Romy Gonzalez and Nick Sogard have combined to handle second base, leaving Hamilton as a bench bat and defensive replacement in most games. He's still logged two steals over five games in September and is up to 20 thefts on 25 attempts this season. The infielder has added a .203/.259/.316 slash line, four home runs, 16 RBI, 25 runs scored, four doubles and one triple over 173 plate appearances.

• Red Sox's David Hamilton: On bench against righty

  08/31/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. Though Hamilton has posted a 1.053 OPS in six games since being called up from Triple-A Worcester on Aug. 21, the Red Sox aren't yet ready to give him consistent playing time. He'll be on the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Mitch Keller), clearing the way for Romy Gonzalez to shift from first base to the keystone in Nathaniel Lowe's return from the paternity list.

• Red Sox's David Hamilton: Sitting out series finale

  08/28/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hamilton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Hamilton had started in each of the Red Sox's last three games and went 4-for-10 with a home run, a double and three RBI, but the left-handed-hitting infielder will hit the bench Thursday while southpaw Cade Povich takes the hill for Baltimore. Ceddanne Rafaela will get the nod at second base in the series finale, but Hamilton could continue to see the bulk of the starts at the keystone against right-handed pitching until Wilyer Abreu's (calf) eventual return from the injured list pushes Rafaela to the infield on a more frequent basis.

• Red Sox's David Hamilton: Enjoying good run

  08/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hamilton went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Orioles. Hamilton's having a productive run since his recall from Triple-A Worcester last week. He's gone 6-for-15 with three extra-base hits, two walks, one steal, three RBI and five runs scored over four games. Hamilton started four of the last six games at second base, all against right-handed pitching. He should maintain a semi-regular role while Wilyer Abreu (calf) remains sidelined. Abreu's injury has resulted in Ceddanne Rafaela getting more time in the outfield than at second base.
