The Cincinnati Reds activated Billy Hamilton from the 15-day DL on Tuesday, according to the Reds Twitter account.
The Reds outfielder has been out of action since Aug. 19, when he injured his shoulder. Cincinnati is officially eliminated from postseason contention though Hamilton will likely see most of the action as the season comes to an end since he's one of the young stars on the team.
Reds promote from Louisville Cingrani, Finnegan, Smith and Negron. Reinstate from the disabled list Hamilton and Boesch.

Hamilton is having the worst season of his career thus far with a .226/.272/.290 batting line. During his first full season last year, the 24-year-old had 56 SB. This season, he has 54 SB while only being thrown out seven times in 107 games.
During a few rehab games, Hamilton was able to play without any issues with his sprained capsule in his right shoulder. The stolen base threat will be back in time to help fantasy owners steal a category during playoff matches.
The Reds will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates as they go for their third straight win on Tuesday.
