Josh Hamilton, who is sidelined with small fractures in two bones in his right rib cage, continues to report improvement in that area. Hamilton had two injections on Tuesday to relieve the pain and inflammation. Hamilton did a stationary bicycle for 15 minutes and some light exercises to strengthen his core and abdominal muscles. "Today was the first day I got my breath going and was out of breath," said Hamilton, who has found deep breathing painful because of the injury. "That's encouraging. The shots seem to be helping with the pain factor. I'm going to keep doing something every day as long as it's not setting me back."
