Astros' Quincy Hamilton: Healthy for spring training
Rotowire
Hamilton (core muscle) is listed as an available bench player for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Hamilton didn't make any appearances in the minors after July 25 last season upon undergoing bilateral core-muscle surgery, but he looks to be back in full health as he gears up for the 2024 campaign. The 25-year-old outfielder has already appeared in two spring training games, going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base. Hamilton isn't on the Astros' 40-man roster and is expected to open the 2024 season at Triple-A Sugar Land.

Astros' Quincy Hamilton: Out after core muscle surgery
Rotowire
Hamilton underwent bilateral core muscle surgery Aug. 15 and is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The 25-year-old has been on the shelf at Sugar Land since late July and is expected to be sidelined six weeks following the procedure, so he's likely out for the season. Hamilton began the campaign at Double-A Corpus Christi and had an .806 OPS in 191 plate appearances, though he had a tougher time after moving up to Triple-A with a .223/.333/.438 slash line in 28 contests.
