(LAWRENCEVILLE, GA) -- The Charlotte Knights announced two roster moves today ahead of the team's road trip from Lawrenceville, GA.
OF Billy Hamilton, who is currently on the Chicago White Sox 10-Day Injured List, will join the Charlotte Knights tonight in Lawrenceville, GA to begin a Major League Baseball Rehab Assignment. The Knights open a six-game road series against the Gwinnett Stripers tonight from Coolray Field. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. from Gwinnett County.
Hamilton, who is scheduled to bat seventh and play center field tonight, was placed on Chicago's injured list on May 10 (retroactive to May 7) with a left hamstring strain.
