Josh Hamilton is dealing with an addiction issue, but it's not what most people will think. CBSSports.com reported Friday that Hamilton's “personal issue” is not injury-related, but rather he's struggling in his most recent failed attempt to quit chewing tobacco.
Hamilton was 2-for-6 with four RBIs in Thursday's game, the latest sign he's coming out of a slump that lasted the month of July. He's batting .283 with 29 home runs and 84 RBIs entering Friday's series opener against the Royals despite a .177 batting average in July.
