The right-hander told\u00a0Dan Martin and Greg Joyce of the New York Post\u00a0that he\u2019ll go for imaging before Friday night\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Boone called upon Hamilton in the sixth inning while New York was trailing 2-1. He issued a leadoff walk to\u00a0Lane Thomas\u00a0before\u00a0Daniel Schneemann\u00a0hit a grounder to first base.\u00a0Jon Berti\u00a0knocked the ball down and flipped to Hamilton covering for the out. Hamilton evidently tweaked his calf while running to the bag. He threw a warm-up pitch after a replay of the call at first. He airmailed the throw and was immediately lifted for\u00a0Tim Mayza.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton had a breakout season in 2023 after signing a minor league contract. He tossed 58 innings of 2.64 ERA ball behind a 28.9 percent strikeout rate and an excellent 55. percent grounder percentage. His follow-up has been more solid than great. Hamilton allowed 3.82 earned runs per nine across 35 regular-season appearances. The strikeouts dipped by a few percentage points while his groundball rate plummeted to a pedestrian 43.8 percent clip. The 29-year-old missed a couple of months midseason with a lat strain.<\/p>\n<p>New York has carried Hamilton on each of its playoff rosters, though he hasn\u2019t played a huge role. He made one appearance in the division series, working 1 1\/3 scoreless frames with three strikeouts in the Yankees&#8217; Game 2 loss to the Royals. This was Hamilton\u2019s first action of the ALCS.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aditude_inline_container\">\n<div id=\"aditude_article_inline_2\" class=\"aditude_div\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If the Yankees need to replace him on the roster, his season will be over. Players taken out midway through a playoff round are ineligible for the following series. The Post writes that one of\u00a0Mark Leiter Jr.\u00a0or\u00a0Clayton Beeter\u00a0would step into the bullpen as a replacement. Beeter only has three MLB games under his belt. Leiter has a lot more experience and seems likely to get the call.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Hoch of MLB.com relays (on X) that Boone indicated Leiter was the final cut from the pitching staff when the Yankees set their roster before the series. New York acquired the right-hander from the Cubs at the deadline. Leiter was striking out nearly 35 percent of batters faced at the time. He has continued to miss a fair number of bats in the Bronx (31.7 percent strikeout rate), but has given up far too much hard contact. Leiter has been tagged for six homers in 21 2\/3 innings as a Yankee and has been left off both series rosters to date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author_bio\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yankees reliever\u00a0Ian Hamilton\u00a0left Thursday&#8217;s Game 3 loss in Cleveland with what the team called left calf tightness.
