Josh Hamilton: Hampered By Chest Discomfort

Updating a previous report, Hamilton is dealing with discomfort in his chest/rib cage area, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports.

Analysis:

It was initially thought that Hamilton had aggravated the shoulder injury that had limited him for most of September, but this now looks like to be an entirely different ailment. He underwent an MRI on Thursday that came back clean, but at this point, it's unclear when he'll be able to resume swinging a bat. As of Wednesday, it hurt him just to breathe, so it appears unlikely he'll be able to help fantasy owners much for the remainder of the 2014 regular season. Hamilton's postseason status is also up in the air at this point.
