The Milwaukee Brewers made a roster move on Friday, activating infielder David Hamilton from the injured list. Hamilton was immediately placed in the starting lineup at third base for the series opener against Colorado.
Hamilton had been on the 10-day injured list since July 7 due to a strained left hamstring. In 74 games this season, he has hit .240 with three home runs and 18 stolen bases. His versatility is highlighted by starts at third base, shortstop, and second base.
