Billy Hamilton exits Reds' game in the first
Cincinnati Reds centerfielder Billy Hamilton exited Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs in the bottom of the first inning after he was hit in the head by a fly ball.
Fellow outfielder Adam Duvall and Hamilton were both going after a fly ball off the bat of Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, and the ball ultimately hit Hamilton in the head/face. He was on the ground for a couple of minutes before eventually walking off the field through the bullpen. The Reds will surely send him for tests to rule out a concussion. Tyler Holt replaced him in center field.
Hamilton has been oft-injured this season, but he is putting together a better slash line this year than in the past, hitting .255/.296/.385 with a .301 wOBA, 19 stolen bases and 33 runs. We project him to cool off to a much lower .287 wOBA over the rest of the season, but he should steal 18 more bases in that span.
