Hamilton hopeful of speedy recovery

ARLINGTON -- Josh Hamilton made his return to Rangers Ballpark and hinted he
may return to Texas' lineup sooner than expected.

"My expectations have always been bigger than everyone else's," Hamilton said
after the Rangers' 1-0 victory against the Blue Jays on Thursday. "Right now,
they're saying four-to-six weeks. I'll let you guys think it's four-to-six
weeks."

Hamilton has started walking on a treadmill and expects to resume baseball
activities in 10 days.

The 28-year-old outfielder underwent surgery Tuesday in Philadelphia to
repair a partial tear of his abdominal muscle. The surgery came one day after
Hamilton visited Dr. William Meyers for a second opinion.

"It feels as good as it can," Hamilton said. "I know what to do to get
better. I have a program set up and it's good to have a plan of action.

"It's good to know it has been corrected. It's more stable, and I can go
forward."

He was hitting .240 with six home runs and 57 RBIs when he was placed on the
disabled list on June 2. Hamilton was also out from April 27 until May 11
with a strained intercostal muscle in his left rib cage.

Since Hamilton went on the disabled list June 2, the Rangers are 4-5 and have
averaged 3.22 runs per game. They were 9-4 the first time Hamilton went on
the disabled list this season.
