Josh Hamilton is showing "significant improvement in his condition" as he receives treatment at a Dallas-area hospital for an early case of pneumonia, the Texas Rangers announced Wednesday, but the timetable for his release has apparently been pushed back.

When the Rangers first informed the media that Hamilton was being treated for pneumonia on Tuesday, they said they were anticipating that he'd be released from the hospital in 24 hours. That window has come and gone, and now the team is saying that the he's likely to leave the hospital this weekend.

Hamilton is expected to resume baseball activities a few days after he completes treatment and is released from the hospital.
