Josh Hamilton is hoping that his latest injury won’t hurt his chances of winning MVP.
The Texas Rangers’ 3-time All Star outfielder hurt his ribs while running into an outfield wall Saturday in Minnesota & will be sidelined indefinitely.
The injury interrupts a stellar year by Hamilton, as he’s leading the American League in batting average (.361), has a career-best on-base percentage (.414), and is one home run shy from tying a career-high of 32 during the 2008 season.
Since the Rangers have the biggest division lead (8 games) out of all the first-place teams, Hamilton could use the rest. But will he be 100% for the playoffs?
