Hamilton had a breakout season in 2023, boasting a 2.64 ERA across 58 innings with an impressive strikeout rate of 28.9% and 55.3% grounder percentage.
The Yankees may need to replace Hamilton on the roster if his calf injury sidelines him, as players injured mid-playoff round are ineligible for the next series.
Hamilton's follow-up season has seen his earned runs increase to 3.82 per nine innings, with a noticeable drop in both strikeouts and ground-ball rate.
Aaron Boone hinted that Mark Leiter Jr. or Clayton Beeter could step up to fill Hamilton's role in the bullpen, with Leiter being more experienced.
