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

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.

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

Adds steal Sunday Hampson went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and three strikeouts in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.
Impact Hampson doubled and stole third in the ninth inning, though the Rockies were unable to cash him in. The 27-year-old's playing time has taken a dip lately with Alan Trejo picking up most of the time at shortstop while Jose Iglesias (thumb) has been out. Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) left Sunday's game early, which could allow Hampson a path back to regular playing time if Rodgers is out more than a day or two, though the injury isn't believed to be significant. Hampson is slashing .214/.294/.316 with 11 steals, two home runs, 14 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven doubles and three triples through 214 plate appearances.

Filling in for resting Grichuk Hampson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Hampson looked as though he might have been a beneficiary of more playing time when Kris Bryant (foot) was placed on the injured list Aug. 1, but Sam Hilliard and Elehuris Montero have instead seen their roles enhanced to a greater extent. However, with Yonathan Daza (shoulder) recently joining Bryant on the IL and with Randal Grichuk getting Thursday off, Hampson will pick up a start in the outfield. Hampson is in the lineup for only the sixth time in 17 August games.

In line for more opportunity Hampson went 0-for-3 Monday against the Padres.
Impact Hampson started in center field and hit ninth after Kris Bryant (foot) was scratched from the lineup. Bryant has since been placed on the injured list, which should open opportunity in the outfield for Hampson to earn more consistent playing time. Hampson's primary appeal comes from his speed, as he has six steals across 54 games this season.
AUGUST 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Back on bench Thursday Hampson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Hampson had started the previous four games and went 5-for-14 with a pair of extra-base hits, a walk and a stolen base, but the Rockies don't look to have an everyday role available for him with Connor Joe's (general soreness) return to the lineup putting the team back at full strength. Expect the 27-year-old to function as a super-utility man moving forward, with most of his starting opportunities coming versus left-handed pitching.

Garners fourth consecutive start Hampson will start in center field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Impact Hampson will stay in the starting nine for the fourth straight contest at his third different position, this time filling in in center for a resting Randal Grichuk. The 27-year-old has earned the extra playing time by going 5-for-10 with a pair of extra-base hits, a walk, a stolen base and two runs over the past three contests, but the Rockies may prefer to limit Hampson's starting opportunities to mostly against left-handed pitching once the team is back to full strength.
JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies sixth stolen base Hampson went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored Monday against the Brewers.
Impact Hampson continues to serve primarily on the short side of a platoon, replacing Connor Joe in the lineup when Colorado faces a lefty. Hampson has hit well across his last 11 games, maintaining a .333 average with three RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases across 33 plate apperances. However, unless the team opts to regularly sit Randal Grichuk and Yonathan Daza against righties, Hampson has a limited path to more regular at-bats.
