Thu Jul 7 2011 | 16:55 | Cards option Mark Hamilton to AAA |
Cardinals optioned 1B Mark Hamilton to Triple-A Memphis. |
Hamilton saw an occasional start at first base while Albert Pujols was sidelined with a fractured wrist but was no longer needed now that the Cardinals' core is back to full health. The 26-year-old could be recalled later this summer. |

Tue Jun 21 2011 | 13:17 | Cardinals recall Hamilton |
Cardinals recalled 1B Mark Hamilton from Triple-A Memphis. |
Hamilton should get a decent amount of looks at first base over the next month-plus as Albert Pujols recovers from a left forearm fracture. The 26-year-old has posted quality numbers at the Triple-A level this season but is unlikely to carry much in the way of mixed league fantasy value. |

Tue Jun 21 2011 | 12:35 | Cards to recall Mark Hamilton from Triple-A |
The Cardinals will recall first baseman Mark Hamilton before Tuesday's game against the Phillies. |
St. Louis is likely to play Lance Berkman at first base and Jon Jay in right field in most matchups, but Hamilton could also see time with Albert Pujols out a month-plus due to a fractured forearm. Hamilton, 26, has posted a .385/.504/.538 batting line in 27 games at the Triple-A level this season. He has five hits in 42 major league plate appearances. |

Cardinals optioned 1B-OF Mark Hamilton to Triple-A Memphis. |
Hamilton has posted a sick .391/.509/.552 batting line at Memphis this season, but he's been unable to find his niche as a pinch-hitter with the Cardinals. He'll go back to playing every day on the farm. |

Cardinals recalled 1B Mark Hamilton from Triple-A Memphis. |
A first baseman by trade, Hamilton will likely see some time in the outfield during his recall thanks to the absence of Matt Holliday. Although he went just 3-for-15 during a call-up earlier this season, he has been raking at Memphis, posting a .391/.509/.552 slash in 25 games. |

Cardinals recalled 1B Mark Hamilton from Triple-A Memphis. |
Hamilton may get a start or two in the next couple of days if the Cardinals want to give Albert Pujols a game off, but he's not versatile and won't see much action otherwise. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues. |

Tue Apr 19 2011 | 12:47 | Cardinals to call up Hamilton on Tuesday |
The Cardinals will call up Mark Hamilton before Tuesday's game against the Nationals. |
Hamilton slugged three home runs and tallied seven RBI across 45 at-bats in Cardinals camp this spring. He's not very versatile in the field, though, and won't get many starts behind Albert Pujols at first base. |
