Hamilton was unable to convince manager Ron Washington that his bruised ribs were sufficiently healed to allow him to play Sunday.

Hamilton hurt himself sliding into third base on the front end of a double steal in Saturday night's 6-5 victory and left after 4 1/2 innings. Following the game, Hamilton said he would be able to play Sunday.

Washington says he held out Hamilton as a precaution and he would be available to pinch hit.

A team spokesman says X-rays showed no broken ribs.
