GARRETT HAMPSON NEWS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting at shortstop Hampson is starting at shortstop and batting ninth for the Marlins in Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Hampson's other three starts came at second base and he's now seen playing time at a total of four positions since his promotion early on in the season. He's 2-for-12 with a homer in seven games.

Recalled from Triple-A Hampson was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Impact Hampson can provide depth for the Marlins' infield with Joey Wendle landing on the 10-day injured list Tuesday because of an intercostal strain. The 28-year-old has good speed but owns a rough .235/.296/.370 career major-league slash line.

Misses out on Opening Day roster The Marlins optioned Hampson to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Though Hampson made enough of an impression in spring training to be upgraded from a minor-league contract to a major-league deal, he won't be part of the Marlins' 26-man active roster to begin the regular season. With the Marlins sending out both Hampson and Jordan Groshans on Sunday, the team will likely decide between non-roster invitees Yuli Gurriel and Jose Iglesias for the final bench spot on the Opening Day roster.

Added to 40-man The Marlins selected Hampson's contract Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hampson always seemed likely to crack the Opening Day roster and now it's official. The 28-year-old is in line for a super-utility role in Miami, bouncing around all over the infield and outfield. It's unlikely he'll have much fantasy value unless he gains traction as a regular in the lineup, in which case he could be a strong source of stolen bases.

Settles for minors deal with Fish Hampson agreed to a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact The righty-hitting utility player can play center field, shortstop and second base. Hampson was once a highly touted fantasy prospect due to his minor-league steals totals and elite foot speed, but his bat has never been up to scratch. He hit .228 with a .288 OBP, 18 home runs and 35 steals in 290 games over the past three seasons (ages 25-27), which should have been his early prime years. Hampson is essentially a one-category (steals) player when he is playing regularly, which may not happen again without injuries ahead of him on the Marlins' depth chart.

MLB tender deadline: Bellinger, Voit among 83 players cut

Cody Bellinger, Brian Anderson and Luke Voit were among 83 players who became free agents when their former teams declined to offer them contracts for next season

NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hits open market The Rockies declined to tender Hampson a contract for 2023, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fantasy players used to dream on Hampson's speed, but he couldn't hit enough to allow that speed to play, even while calling Coors Field home. As he enters free agency, Hampson is 28 years old with a career .235/.296/.370 batting line across 1,279 plate appearances.

Posts steal as pinch runner Hampson logged his 12th stolen base of the season as a pinch runner in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Hampson ran for Brendan Rodgers in the eighth inning and stole second, but he was left on base. The steal was Hampson's fifth since the start of September. The 27-year-old has slipped into a utility role off the bench lately as Alan Trejo has commanded more playing time. Hampson is slashing just .214/.292/.313 through 219 plate appearances this season.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Saturday's lineup Hampson isn't starting Saturday against the Padres, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Hampson hasn't seen much playing time recently and will head to the bench for the fifth time in the last six games. Alan Trejo is starting at the keystone and batting sixth.
