Back from IL The Rockies activated Hampson (hand) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact Hampson's return from the IL was foreshadowed Sunday, when the Rockies demoted Alan Trejo to Triple-A Albuquerque. Now that he's moved past the right hand injury that sidelined him for two weeks, Hampson is expected to fill a utility role for Colorado.

Shines on rehab assignment Hampson (hand) went 4-for-10 with a double, a walk, five RBI, a run and a stolen base while playing in rehab games at Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday and Sunday.
Impact Assuming Hampson experienced no aggravation of his right hand injury coming out of Sunday's contest, he's expected to rejoin the Rockies and return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Nationals. Hampson will fill a utility role for the Rockies upon being activated.

Expects to return Tuesday Hampson (hand) will play in a pair of rehab games this weekend for Triple-A Albuquerque and expects to be back with the Rockies on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Hampson missed his chance to return from the injured list after the minimum 10 days, but he isn't set to miss much more time. He didn't do much prior to suffering a bruised hand, going 1-for-9 with a steal in three games.

Taking batting practice Hampson (hand) has started to take batting practice and is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hampson began work in the batting cage Tuesday and planned to take batting practice on the field the following day. He reportedly needs to repeat that type of work a few more times before going on a rehab assignment. That said, reports suggest that Hampson is making progress, though his return is not imminent.

Taking reps at first base Prior to landing on the injured list, Hampson (hand) was taking reps at first base, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hampson already boasts plenty of versatility, as the only positions he's failed to play at the major-league level are first base and right field. C.J. Cron currently occupies the starting job at first base and has started the season in productive fashion. However, Hampson could replace Cron as a pinch runner late in games, in which case he may also need to be able to field the position. For now, Hampson will have to focus on recovering from a bruise on his hand, but he should serve a super-utility role once activated.

Shut down with hand injury The Rockies placed Hampson on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a bruised right hand.
Impact Provided that follow-up tests on Hampson's hand don't reveal any fractured bones, he should be in store for a minimum-length stay on the IL or close to it. The 27-year-old had seen limited action as a utility player through the Rockies' first eight games, making only three starts while recording one hit and two walks over 12 plate appearances.

One start through four games Hampson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact The Rockies have now faced two right-handed starting pitchers and two left-handed starting pitchers to begin the season, with Hampson's lone entry into the lineup coming Sunday against a southpaw (Julio Urias). Colorado will oppose a lefty again Monday in Taylor Hearn, but Hampson's exclusion from the starting nine suggests he may not even have a short-side platoon role when all of the Rockies' key bats are at full strength.

Reaches deal without arbiter Hampson and the Rockies agreed to a one-year, $1,862,500 deal Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The agreement means the two sides get to avoid arbitration. Hampson stole 17 bases in 494 trips to the plate last year, giving him a bit of fantasy value, but he remained unable to do much at the plate. His .234/.289/.380 slash line looks poor enough on its own even before accounting for the fact that he plays half his games at Coors Field.

Remains on bench Hampson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact On the bench for the fifth time in eight games, Hampson appears to have lost hold of an everyday spot in the outfield. The Rockies will roll out an outfield of Raimel Tapia, Sam Hilliard and Charlie Blackmon from left to right in the series finale.
