"He wasn't healthy," Corbin said. "Had a little bit of a lat issue. He'd be pitching tonight, if he, so I think he's going to be OK, but we had to just give him a couple days."
Hamilton is the seventh different Commodores pitcher to miss time with injury this season. Miller Green and Aiden Stillman recently returned from preseason ailments, while Austin Nye underwent internal brace surgery and England Bryan, Adria Casoliba and Matthew Shorey also remain out.
It is unclear whether either player will be available when Vanderbilt takes on Texas for a three-game series from April 24-26 at Hawkins Field.
