Josh Hamilton will undergo left knee surgery and miss the 2016 season, the Texas Rangers have announced.

Hamilton hasn't played this season and is already on the 60-day disabled list. The Rangers had expected him to return at some point this year.

The 35-year-old will have what will be his third surgery on the knee on June 8.

"It's not totally unexpected because of the sheer number of procedures he's had on the knee and the lack of relief that he's had," Jon Daniels said. "It's not a surprise at this point."

Daniels said that Hamilton expects to be back on the field in 2017, which will be the final year of his five-year, $125 million contract.
