Hamilton, 30, was placed on Chicago's 10-Day Injured List with a right oblique strain on August 1 (retroactive to July 31). He began a rehab stint with the Knights on August 21 and appeared in six games with the team, going 3-for-19 at the plate with two runs scored, one double and one stolen base.

Gonzalez, 24, appeared in nine games with the Knights this season and compiled a .344 batting average (11-for-32) with six runs scored, four doubles, three home runs, 10 RBIs and one stolen base. In his Triple-A debut on August 21, he hit two home runs, including a walk-off, three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Knights to a 7-5 win over the Durham Bulls. He recorded seven hits over his first 10 career Triple-A at-bats with six going for extra bases (three doubles and three home runs).
Gonzalez, a native of Miami, FL, began the 2021 season with the Double-A Barons and hit .267 (81-for-303) with 52 runs scored, 11 doubles, 20 home runs, 47 RBIs and 21 stolen bases in 78 games with the team. He is still among the Double-A South leaders in home runs (3rd), RBIs (10th) and on-base percentage (8th). He was originally selected in the 18th round of the June 2018 First-Year Player Draft by the White Sox.
