Josh Hamilton was held out of the Texas Rangers lineup Wednesday after receiving a shot the previous night for his sore right knee. Hamilton, who leads the majors with a .361 batting average, was the designated hitter the previous two games at Kansas City. He hit .435 with five home runs and 16 RBIs in his past 12 games and said he planned to play the outfield Friday.
