Hamilton, who leads the majors with 58 stolen
bases, sustained the injury on a bunt attempt in the first
inning but finished the at-bat and was replaced in the third. An
MRI confirmed the fracture.
"He'll be in a splint for 10 days, and then we'll reassess,"
Reds manager Bryan Price said. "This is not necessarily a
season-ending injury."

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired right-handed reliever Juan
Nicasio from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for minor
league infielder Eliezer Alvarez.
Nicasio, 31, joined the Phillies on Aug. 31 on a waiver claim
from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Dominican
native has combined to go 3-5 with a 2.79 ERA in a National
League-leading 67 games between Pittsburgh (65 games) and
Philadelphia (two games) in 2017.

The New York Yankees placed right-hander Adam Warren on the
10-day disabled list with a lower back spasm.
The move is retroactive to Sunday and robs the Yankees of a key
bullpen piece as they attempt to catch the Boston Red Sox in the
American League East.
His role had increased of late with New York shuffling the
bullpen order by removing Aroldis Chapman from the closer spot.

The Chicago White Sox reinstated infielder/outfielder Nicky
Delmonico from the 10-day disabled list.
Delmonico has been out since suffering a sprained right wrist on
Aug. 25. The 25-year-old rookie set a club record by reaching
base safely in each of his first 13 games earlier this season
and is batting .307 with six home runs and 12 RBIs.
