T.R. Sullivan has a new piece up, saying that Josh Hamilton will be out for an "extended period" after his collision with the wall yesterday, and that if this were any other month of the season, other than September, when rosters are expanded, Hamilton would be on the disabled list.
On the plus side, with the 8 game lead the Rangers have right now, this shouldn't impact the divisional race. It also gives the Rangers a chance to play Jeff Francoeur, Julio Borbon, and David Murphy more down the stretch, and get a better handle on how much those guys should play in the playoffs.
