GARRETT HAMPSON NEWS

Sitting in third straight Hampson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Though he enters Sunday with an active seven-game hitting streak, Hampson will find himself on the bench for the third game in a row to close out the Rockies' first-half schedule. Now that Kris Bryant has returned from the paternity list and with C.J. Cron having overcome a recent wrist injury, the Rockies don't look like they'll have an everyday spot in the infield or outfield available for Hampson.

Swipes bag Friday Hampson went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 13-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Hampson had started six straight games in a row, going 6-for-21 (.286) in that span before hitting the bench Friday. He would end up playing about half of the game anyway, as Jose Iglesias exited the contest with neck stiffness at the start of the fifth inning. Hampson went on to extend his hitting streak to seven contests, with the surge lifting his season slash line to .241/.320/.366 in 127 plate appearances. He's added five stolen bases, two home runs, 12 RBI and 21 runs scored across 45 games.

Starting streak reaches six games Hampson will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Padres.

Impact He'll be included in the lineup for the sixth straight games, with Hampson having now started at four different positions. Kris Bryant (personal) is back from a three-game stint on the paternity list and C.J. Cron (wrist) is starting after sitting out four of the previous five contests, but the Rockies will still have a spot for Hampson with everyday third baseman Ryan McMahon getting a day off. Hampson has produced exactly one hit in each of his last five starts while adding three RBI and three runs.

Draws third consecutive start Hampson will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hampson has seen the majority of his time in the infield this season and started at shortstop the past two games while Jose Iglesias (head) was out of the lineup, but he'll get a look in the outfield Monday following Kris Bryant's (personal) placement on the paternity list. After going 2-for-9 with a pair of doubles, two RBI, a run and a stolen base during the Rockies' series in Arizona over the weekend, Hampson will get a chance to build on that performance as Colorado begins a seven-game homestand to close out its first-half schedule.

Triples in return Hampson went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored Sunday against the Padres.

Impact Hampson was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday and drew the start at shortstop while hitting ninth. He tallied his triple with one out in the fifth inning and came around to score on a Brendan Rodgers single. Jose Iglesias is likely to remain the primary shortstop, though Hampson has enough defensive versatility that he may be able to pick up several starts a week across the diamond.

Impact Infielder Alan Trejo was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Hampson, while reliever Tyler Kinley (elbow) was transferred from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL to create room on the 40-man roster. Hampson, who was away from the Rockies for only a few days while waiting to clear COVID-19-related protocols, should settle back into a utility role with the big club.

Swipes bag Tuesday Hampson went 0-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Hampson got aboard with a fielder's choice in the fourth inning and stole second, but he didn't come around to score. He exited the contest in the sixth for pinch hitter Charlie Blackmon, who delivered a go-ahead three-run home run. Prior to Tuesday, Hampson was 5-for-12 in his last three games. The versatile 27-year-old saw his slash line dip to .237/.318/.407, but he's up to two steals with two two homers, nine RBI and 13 runs scored through 68 plate appearances. He's likely to continue seeing just a part-time role without even a well-defined platoon partnership established.

Drives in two Hampson went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Impact Hampson was out of the lineup for the first game Wednesday, but he started in center field and hit eighth in the latter contest. He did all of his damage in the fifth inning, recording a two-RBI double while also coming around to score. Hampson has received inconsistent playing time even with Kris Bryant (back) sidelined, and he figures to continue to split time with Sam Hilliard as Colorado's fourth outfielder.

Productive in Monday's win Hampson went 3-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 7-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact It was the first multi-hit performance of the season for Hampson, who came into Monday with a miserable .161/.257/.290 slash line through 35 plate appearances in May after a hand injury cost him most of April. The 27-year-old is just trying to push his way back into the starting lineup on a regular basis right now, and he'll need more games like Monday's to do it.

Slugs first homer Hampson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Nationals.

Impact Hampson drew his first start since returning from a hand injury, entering the lineup at shortstop in place of Jose Iglesias. He took advantage of the opportunity by smacking a three-run home run in the second inning. It was Hampson's first long ball of the season, though he's managed only 12 plate appearances. Hampson doesn't appear to have a clear path to playing time for the time being, particularly with Brendan Rodgers heating up at the plate.
