Red Sox's David Hamilton: Brought up by Boston
Hamilton was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
The Red Sox deactivated infielder Pablo Reyes (elbow) and outfielder Wilyer Abreu (paternity list) Monday, so Hamilton was brought up to help fill the void. He'll provide depth in the middle infield while Reyes is on the shelf, but Hamilton may not get the chance to play as frequently as he did in June and July, when he picked up 10 starts at shortstop and hit .138 with two stolen bases over 34 plate appearances in total. While he's with the Red Sox, Hamilton could at least represent a useful option off of the bench thanks to his speed.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Optioned to Triple-A
The Red Sox optioned Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
With Yu Chang (wrist) returning from the 60-day injured list Friday, Hamilton will serve as the Red Sox's roster casualty in order to free up a spot in Boston's crowded infield. Hamilton slashed just .138/.265/.207 over 13 games during his stint in the majors, though he could return later this season if he puts up numbers consistent with his .838 OPS in Triple-A.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Days in big leagues numbered
Hamilton is expected to be sent down to Triple-A Worcester when the Red Sox activate Yu Chang (wrist) from the injured list Thursday or Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The Red Sox are getting healthier in the middle infield with Chang coming off the IL with Pablo Reyes (abdominal) also likely to be activated in the coming days. Hamilton has filled in the last two weeks with a just a .503 OPS in 12 games, and his time in the majors should end soon.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Swipes bag in win
Hamilton went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Hamilton has already racked up two steals in three games at the major-league level after logging 27 thefts in 52 contests for Triple-A Worcester. The shortstop has gone 1-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored. He has a chance to carve out a strong-side platoon role while Pablo Reyes (abdomen) is on the injured list for the next 10 days at a minimum.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Logs first MLB hit
Hamilton went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 6-0 loss to Minnesota.
Hamilton made his first MLB start and logged his first career hit in the eighth inning. Pablo Reyes, who had been dealing with abdominal soreness, started at second base but was removed in the fourth inning, suggesting he's still not 100 percent. If Reyes needs time on the injured list, the speedy Hamilton could remain with the Red Sox and get additional starts at shortstop.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Steals base in debut
Hamilton served as pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Twins.
Hamilton was called up from Triple-A Worcester after Pablo Reyes (abdomen) sustained an injury. Hamilton could get some starts at shortstop, given the shaky defense of Enrique Hernandez, who started Wednesday. If so, Hamilton will provide a boost on the base paths. The 25-year-old stole 71 bases in 2022 at Double-A Portland and registered 27 thefts over 52 games for the WooSox this season.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Gets first MLB start
Hamilton is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth Thursday against the Twins.
Hamilton is one of the fastest prospects in the game, and he stole a base and scored a run as a pinch runner Wednesday after getting called up from Triple-A Worcester. The 25-year-old lefty hitter posted a .255/.339/.486 slash line with 11 home runs and 27 steals in 52 games at Triple-A. He will be sharing middle-infield work with Enrique Hernandez, Christian Arroyo and Pablo Reyes in the short term.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Called up from Worcester
Boston recalled Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The 25-year-old can provide infield depth as Pablo Reyes works through some abdominal discomfort, and he would take on considerable fantasy appeal if Reyes requires a trip to the 10-day injured list. Hamilton was sporting an .825 OPS with 11 home runs and 27 stolen bases through 52 games this season at the Triple-A level after tallying 70 steals in 119 games last season at Double-A. He'll be making his MLB debut when he first appears in a game for the Red Sox.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Could get call-up Wednesday
Hamilton will join the Red Sox's taxi squad in Minnesota on Wednesday, and he could be recalled from Triple-A Worcester if Pablo Reyes (abdomen) has to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The infielder possesses some of the best speed in the minors, and he's stolen 27 bases over 237 plate appearances at Worcester while registering an .825 OPS. The Red Sox's depth at shortstop has already been tested considerably this season with Trevor Story (elbow) and Adalberto Mondesi (knee) on the injured list and Enrique Hernandez not proving to be an ideal defensive option at the position, which had prompted the team to turn to the journeyman Reyes as a regular in the infield. Unless the Red Sox are willing to give Hernandez another trial at shortstop if Reyes requires a stint on the IL, Hamilton could have a clear path to steady playing time if he's indeed called up. Hamilton's ability to swipe bags would make him an intriguing player to monitor at the very least.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Out with thumb sprain
Hamilton was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, retroactive to June 2, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Hamilton will be sidelined for at least the next week, but the Red Sox don't expect him to face a lengthy absence. The 25-year-old is performing well in his first taste of the Triple-A level this year with a .267/.344/.524 slash line, 11 homers and 26 stolen bases in 47 games.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Bound for Triple-A
Boston optioned Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
The 25-year-old Hamilton may not be polished enough as a hitter to profile as a realistic everyday player for Boston down the road, but his elite speed was enough to earn a spot on the Red Sox's 40-man roster this offseason. After impressing in a small sample of action in the Grapefruit League -- Hamilton got on base at a .370 clip and went 5-for-5 on stolen-base attempts over his first 13 games -- he'll now get the chance to hone his skills with Boston's top minor-league affiliate to begin the 2023 season.
