Josh Hamilton is likely to be in the starting lineup when the Reds play the Chicago Cubs today at Wrigley Field.

"There's a good chance he'll be in there somewhere," Reds manager Jerry Narron said of the outfielder. "It might be at catcher."

Narron was kidding about that.

The most likely place for Hamilton is center field. Starter Ryan Freel is 3-for-16 with four strikeouts versus Carlos Zambrano, today's Cubs starting pitcher, including 1-for-2 with a walk and a run on Opening Day.

Ken Griffey Jr. is 7-for-18 with two home runs off Zambrano. Adam Dunn hit two homers off Zambrano in the opener.

Hamilton has reached base in seven of his last 10 plate appearances and has a home run in each of his two starts.

"We've got to get him on the field with what he's done," Narron said. "It's not easy playing four outfielders. But we'll work it out."[/quote]
