Alen Hanson Placed on the Altoona DL

Published:

Alen Hanson has been placed on the Altoona disabled list with a hamstring injury. The injury was suffered last week, and will almost certainly end Hanson’s season, since the season only has a week remaining. Drew Maggi has been activated off the Altoona DL as a corresponding move.

Assuming this does end Hanson’s season, he finishes with a .280/.326/.442 line in 482 at-bats. He also made the switch to second base recently, with a focus on getting his bat to the majors at some point during the 2015 season. The switch also followed continued struggles from Hanson at the shortstop position. He should be expected to move up to Indianapolis next year, and could be a mid-season callup candidate.
