Hamilton's hand is fine, tooth is hurting
The Associated PressTexas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton's left hand is OK after being hit by a pitch. Now he has a toothache.
Hamilton arrived at the Rangers clubhouse Tuesday morning with a swollen face, and then went to the dentist for what is believed to be an infected tooth.
Hamilton was hit by a pitch on the top of his left hand in Monday night's game against San Francisco. X-rays were negative and he didn't have any kind of wrap on his hand Tuesday. Hamilton says it's fine.
Hamilton already had a scheduled day off Tuesday when the Rangers traveled to Mesa to face the Chicago Cubs.
