Cincinnati Reds OF Billy Hamilton went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, three steals and a walk in a 6-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday, July 22.

Fantasy Tip: Hamilton is riding a modest five-game hitting streak, and he has seven steals over the stretch. When he is reaching base at a decent clip, he can be a fantasy stud in both season-long and DFS formats.

Fantasy Tip: Hamilton doesn't hit for a high average, but he racks up plenty of steals for fantasy owners in rotisserie leagues to justify using him.

Cincinnati Reds OF Billy Hamilton scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday, July 17, in a 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fantasy Tip: Hamilton's game has improved slightly this season, as his average (.237) is up 11 points from a year ago. He's 19 strikeouts away from matching last year's total (75) and his steals are down (23 in 76 games this year, 57 in 114 games a year ago). If he ever figures out the whole package, Hamilton will be quite dangerous. For now, he does a decent job of delivering speed and scoring runs.

Cincinnati Reds OF Billy Hamilton (knee) suffered a knee injury during the game against the Miami Marlins Friday, July 8, but was able to finish the game. Hamilton is confident that he will be able to play through the injury.

Fantasy Tip: Hamilton could receive a game off before the All-Star break, so owners should check the Reds lineup over the next two days. Hamilton is still one of the better base stealers in baseball and should be used in mixed leagues.

Cincinnati Reds OF Billy Hamilton is hitting second Tuesday, July 5, which shifted 3B Eugenio Suarez down to seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Hamilton is in a 2-for-24 (.083) slump the last week, but he has hit .333 in 21 at-bats against John Lackey. He's a solid low-end flyer today. Suarez is hitting .286 with a homer the last week and is a low-end consideration as well.

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Reds OF Billy Hamilton (face) has passed the concussion protocol and is starting in center field and batting seventh against Washington Nationals SP Gio Gonzalez Thursday, June 30.

Fantasy Tip: Hamilton owners caught a break after he was hit in the face by a line drive Wednesday, June 29. Hamilton checks out as a one-trick pony, but he can carry a team in the stolen base category and should be owned in all seasonal leagues.

Cincinnati Reds 2B/OF Jose Peraza is starting in center field and is batting seventh against Washington Nationals SP Gio Gonzalez Thursday, June 30. OF Billy Hamilton (head) remains out of the lineup.

Fantasy Tip: Peraza is an intriguing Cincy prospect that should be owned in NL-only leagues, mainly for his speed. He could become useful in deeper mixed leagues, too, if Hamilton is forced to the 7-day concussion DL. Peraza could split time in center with Tyler Holt, too, especially since Peraza's outfield defense has been shaky.

Cincinnati Reds OF Billy Hamilton (head) still has not been cleared out of the concussion protocol and underwent more tests Thursday, June 30.

Fantasy Tip: Hamilton recently returned from a concussion injury, so expect the league and Cincinnati to be extremely cautious with him. At this point, you'll want to avoid any hasty roster decisions and stay tuned for updates. Jose Peraza is starting in center field Thursday, and he is a speculative flier grab in cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues.
