Gets fourth straight start Hampson will start in center field and bat eighth Thursday against the Astros.
Impact Hampson has now picked up four consecutive starts while playing three different positions (second base, third base and center field), but he likely won't be in store for steady playing time so long as Brendan Rodgers' hand injury doesn't result in him landing on the injured list. However, Hampson could have a path to regular at-bats in the outfield after Raimel Tapia (toe) was moved to the IL on Tuesday. Along with Hampson, Connor Joe and Yonathan Daza are also candidates to fill in for Tapia while Charlie Blackmon and Sam Hilliard typically occupy the other two outfield spots.

Reverting to bench role Hampson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Hampson was seeing regular time in center field with Yonathan Daza (COVID-19 protocols) sidelined, but he's now on the bench for the third time in the past four games. Hampson was unable to take advantage and should now return to a reserve role with Daza back from the injured list, though it's Sam Hilliard starting in center field Sunday.

Retreats to bench Hampson isn't starting Saturday against San Diego, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Not starting Thursday Hampson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

Retreats to bench Hampson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Hampson has been the primary replacement in center field since Yonathan Daza was placed on the COVID-19 injured list, but the 26-year-old filled in for an injured Brendan Rodgers (calf) at second base in his most recent start Saturday. Rodgers is back from a two-game absence in the series finale, while Sam Hilliard will cover center field in Hampson's stead.

Takes seat Wednesday Hampson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Filling in for Daza Hampson will start in center field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Dodgers.
Impact Hampson looks to be the main beneficiary of Yonathan Daza's placement on the COVID-19-related injured list Friday. He'll pick up his third straight start in center field in place of Daza on Sunday after going 1-for-8 with a walk and a run scored in the first two games of the series.

Two hits, stolen base Hampson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a strikeout as the Rockies defeated the Padres, 3-0 on Saturday.

Big day at plate Wednesday Hampson went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Hampson got the nod in center field as Yonathan Daza was given a breather. It marked his second straight multi-hit game after going hitless across his previous nine at-bats. With the Rockies getting multiple players back from injury recently, Hampson is currently without an everyday position. That being said, he could continue to see semi-regular playing time while serving in a utility role going forward.

Filling in for resting Daza Hampson will start in center field and bat second Wednesday against the Pirates, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Impact After going 2-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-0 while filling in for a resting Brendan Rodgers, Hampson will stick in the lineup for the series finale while outfielder Yonathan Daza gets a breather. With all of Colorado's everyday players currently at full strength, Hampson looks like he'll have to settle for a utility role, which will afford him only a handful of starts per week.

Pops solo shot in win Hampson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Thursday's 7-3 win over Milwaukee.
Impact Hampson went back-to-back after C.J. Cron's grand slam in the first inning Thursday. The 26-year-old Hampson is slashing .247/.301/.434 with six homers, 17 RBI, 36 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 67 games. He doesn't have a clearly defined place in the lineup, but he should continue to compete for playing time with Brendan Rodgers at second base and Yonathan Daza in center field.

Losing work Hampson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Impact Hampson will take a seat for the second time in three games, and he could end up fading into more of a utility role following Trevor Story's recent return from the injured list. Rather than Hampson, Brendan Rodgers -- who will make his third straight start Sunday -- has stuck around in the lineup as the primary double-play partner for Story, and the hot-hitting Yonathan Daza looks to be ahead of Hampson on the depth chart in center field for the time being as well.
