Josh Hamilton, who played for the Angels for two seasons in 2013 and 2014, was indicted on Monday for a felony charge of child abuse. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Hamilton was indicted on one count of injury to a child with intentional bodily injury, stemming from an incident involving his oldest daughter on September 30.

Hamilton pleaded not guilty to the charge in late October and was released from prison on a $35,000 bond, per a local CBS affiliate.

According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Hamilton allegedly became upset with his oldest daughter and threw a water bottle at her chest.
