Hamilton Hopes to be Back on Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton has played six innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Hamilton is on the disabled list with a strained muscle in his left rib cage area. He went 1 for 2 in the RedHawks' 4-3, 10-inning victory over the Round Rock Express. He walked, flied out and singled. He also scored a run.

Hamilton said he plans to be ready to play for the Rangers against Seattle on Tuesday night. He says he didn't feel anything when he slipped in the outfield and landed on his ribs Sunday.

Hamilton is batting .242 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 18 games for Texas.
