Josh Hamilton was released by the Texas Rangers on Friday amid continued problems with his knees.

Hamilton was rehabbing his left knee from surgery when he injured his right knee on a swing, according to Rangers GM Jon Daniels.

Rangers GM Jon Daniels said Josh Hamilton injured his right knee a few weeks ago hitting "rolled his right knee, his front leg in a swing."
