GARRETT HAMPSON NEWS

Back on bench Monday Hampson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hampson will hit the bench after starting in each of the past three games. After going 4-for-6 with a solo home run in the first two of those contests, Hampson fell back to earth in a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Sunday, when he struck out in four of his five plate appearances. Joey Wendle will step back in at shortstop on Monday and still appears to be the Marlins' preferred option at the position.

Pops third homer Hampson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Phillies.

Impact The utility player got the Marlins on the board in the fifth inning when he slashed an Aaron Nola fastball over the left-field fence. Hampson's playing time continues to pick up, both due to his current form and due to the lack of consistent production from the likes of Joey Wendle, and he's started five of the last nine games for Miami -- three at shortstop and two at third base. Over that stretch, Hampson's batting .391 (9-for-23) with two of his three homers on the season.

Goes yard in rare start Hampson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Nationals.

Impact The utility player got the start at third base before shifting to right field as part of a late-game double switch, and Hampson would up providing the biggest blow in the Marlins' four-run rally in the 11th inning when he drove a Mason Thompson sinker over the wall in center field. Hampson has started two straight games at the hot corner as a defensive upgrade on Jake Burger, who has slotted in at DH while Jorge Soler (hip) is banged up, but he hadn't been in the starting nine since late July prior to that. Hampson's been productive when he's gotten the opportunity, however -- in each of his last four starts dating back to July 26, he's produced multiple hits.

Hampson's 2-run HR caps 11th inning rally and sends Marlins past Nationals 8-5

Garrett Hampson hit a two-run homer to cap a four-run rally in the 11th inning, and the Miami Marlins defeated the Washington Nationals 8-5

Added to lineup Thursday Hampson was added to the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Jorge Soler (hip) had to be scratched, pushing Josh Bell to the DH role, Jake Burger to first base and Hampson into third base duties. This will be the first start for Hampson since the Marlins called him up from Triple-A Jacksonville last Wednesday.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Hampson was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hampson has put up a .275/.346/.384 slash line with one homer and three steals in 68 games this season in the minors. He'll back up at multiple positions in the infield and outfield.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned back to Triple-A Miami optioned Hampson to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Impact Hampson was just called up Tuesday, but the Marlins are needing to free up space for all of their trade-deadline acquisitions. The 28-year-old super-utilityman has batted .275/.346/.384 with one homer and three steals in 68 games this season at the major-league level.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Hampson was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hampson was just optioned to the minors Monday, but the Marlins again have a place for him on their major-league roster following an active Tuesday trade deadline. The versatile 28-year-old has slashed .275/.346/.384 with one homer and three steals through 67 big-league games this season.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Hampson was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact This move corresponds to Jazz Chisholm (oblique) getting activated from the 10-day injured list. Hampson hit .615 in 13 July at-bats, although he rarely started and often appeared as a pinch runner or defensive replacement.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects trio of hits Hampson went 3-for-4 with one double, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over Detroit.

Impact Hampson delivered a game-tying two-RBI double in the fifth inning off Tarik Skubal and also came around to score in the seventh on a Garrett Cooper home run. Though Hampson has only been in the starting lineup three times since being called up in early July, he's been incredibly productive at the plate, batting 8-for-13 (.615) with five runs scored and has struck out just once in 13 plate appearances.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to big leagues Hampson was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hampson has batted just .240/.321/.336 during his time with the Marlins this season. The team's center field depth in particular is hurting, though, so he could get some run at the position. Dane Myers is in center field Wednesday.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Hampson to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact With the return of Jean Segura (hamstring) and Jazz Chisholm (toe) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Hampson and Jacob Amaya will serve as Miami's roster casualties. Hampson is slashing .250/.423/.250 across 27 plate appearances since the beginning of June, and his defensive versatility could allow him to return to Miami if the Marlins ever need to call on their depth later this season.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for third straight Hampson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hampson is on the bench for the third straight contest and appears to have been firmly displaced as the Marlins' primary center fielder in place of Jonathan Davis, at least for the time being. Both Davis and Hampson will likely see their playing time in the outfield take a more significant hit perhaps as soon as the upcoming weekend, when Jazz Chisholm (toe) is said to be targeting a return from the injured list. It's unclear how close Chisholm actually is to making that a reality, however.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Wednesday Hampson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hampson will cede center field to Jonathan Davis after starting each of the past five games while going 3-for-17 with a walk and a stolen base. Though three Marlins outfielders (Jazz Chisholm, Avisail Garcia and Jesus Sanchez) remain on the 10-day injured list, Hampson could begin to see his playing time take a hit while he continues to struggle at the plate.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets day off Thursday Hampson is not in the Marlins' lineup Thursday against the Nationals.

Impact Hampson had drawn three straight starts in center field in the absence of Jazz Chisholm (toe) but will grab a bit of rest during Thursday's matinee game in Miami. Xavier Edwards is playing center and batting ninth versus Washington.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Looks like new center fielder Hampson will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hampson will pick up his third consecutive start in center field and looks as though he may become a regular at the position after Jazz Chisholm (toe) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an injury that is expected to keep him shelved for around 4-to-6 weeks. Though his high strikeout rate and paucity of power limit his upside in the batting-average and home-run categories, Hampson can be a useful source of stolen bases while he's getting steady playing time.

Marlins star Jazz Chisholm Jr. headed to IL, out indefinitely with turf toe

Marlins center fielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. was put on the 10-day injured list Tuesday because of a right toe turf injury.

MAY 16, 2023

Batting leadoff Tuesday Hampson is starting in center field and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Nationals.

Impact This is the second straight start in center for Hampson as Jazz Chisholm recovers from a toe injury. Hampson carries a .262/.294/.431 slash line with one homer and two steals through 26 games (69 plate appearances) on the year but may be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats if Chisholm needs extended rest.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup Hampson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact The 28-year-old started seven of eight games at shortstop for the Marlins in late April, but Jon Berti is receiving his seventh straight start at the position Sunday. Hampson has still started four games in right field during the latter stretch, but Berti has taken over as the club's primary shortstop, as least until Joey Wendle (ribs) returns from the injured list.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in right field Hampson is starting in right field and batting ninth for the Marlins on Friday versus the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact It looks like Hampson will be the right fielder against lefties while Avisail Garcia (back) is out and he'll continue seeing plenty of starts at shortstop, as well, at least until Joey Wendle (intercostal) is back. Justin Steele will be starting for the Cubs in this one.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles twice in win Hampson went 2-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's victory over the Cubs.

Impact Hampson gave the Marlins a 3-2 lead with his second double of the contest, driving in Nick Fortes in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old Hampson now has four doubles in his last six games, boosting his slash line to .267/.313/.467 with five RBI and eight runs scored through 49 plate appearances. He's filled in nicely at shortstop with Joey Wendle (intercostal) sidelined, potentially earning a sustained role in Miami.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Poaching work from Berti Hampson will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though he's starting in right field for the first time this season, Hampson looks to have emerged as the Marlins' preferred option at shortstop over Jon Berti while Joey Wendle (intercostal) has been on the shelf. Hampson started at shortstop in all but one of the last eight games, while Berti drew one start at the position but otherwise played second or third base or was out of the lineup entirely. Wendle began a rehab assignment Thursday and could be on track to return from the injured list during the upcoming week, so Hampson's run of regular playing time could soon come to an end in any case.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets fifth straight start Hampson will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hampson will stick in the lineup as the Marlins' starting shortstop for the fifth consecutive game after batting .286 with a stolen base across the previous four contests. It's worth noting that everyday second baseman Luis Arraez (knee) sat out for three of those contests, but he's back in the lineup Wednesday. Third baseman Jean Segura is getting the night off, meanwhile, but Jon Berti is expected to see most of the reps at shortstop on days when both Segura and Arraez are also starting.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes second bag Hampson went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in a 3-2 win over the Guardians during the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, Hampson drove in Miami's first two runs with a fourth-inning single and a sixth-inning double. The former Rockie has seen semi-regular playing time in a utility role since he was added to the big-league roster -- he's made four appearances at second base, three at shortstop and three in the outfield -- and held his own at the plate by batting .273 (6-for-22) with two doubles, a homer, four runs, four RBI and two steals. With Jean Segura contributing little offensively at third base and Jon Berti not a great fit defensively at shortstop, Hampson could have fantasy value at least until Joey Wendle (ribs) gets healthy and rejoins the Infield of Misfit Toys the Marlins have assembled this season.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Flashes speed Wednesday Hampson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Giants.

Impact Getting the start at shortstop at batting ninth, Hampson swiped his first bag of the season in the fifth inning, putting him in scoring position for a Garrett Cooper single. Jon Berti's defensive limitations at shortstop appear to be causing manager Skip Schumaker to consider other options, which could open the door for Hampson to get more playing time.
