Stealing starts from Sam Hilliard Hampson will start in center field and bat eighth Monday against the Giants.
Impact For the second time in three games, the righty-hitting Hampson will stick in the lineup in center field against a right-handed starting pitcher (Kevin Gausman) at the expense of the lefty-hitting Sam Hilliard. Hampson owns a modest .718 OPS since the middle of August, but that's still a far better mark than what Hilliard (.474) has provided. Look for manager Bud Black to ride the hot bat in center field for the rest of the season, and right now, Hampson is clearly outperforming Hilliard.
