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.

Moves to COVID-19 IL The Rockies placed Hampson on the COVID-19-related injured list Thursday.

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.
