David Hamilton News: Recall made official

The Red Sox recalled Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

Hamilton is drawing the start at second base Thursday versus the Yankees and could see semi-regular action there if the Red Sox opt to use Ceddanne Rafaela as a full-time outfielder following the injury to Wilyer Abreu (calf). The speedy Hamilton has slashed only .174/.227/.265 in 69 games with the big club this season, though he does have 17 stolen bases in 21 attempts.
