Garrett Hampson - Getting another start vs. leftyHampson will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

ImpactHampson will stay in the starting nine for the fourth time in five games, but the Royals have faced left-handed starters or primary pitchers in each of the past three contests. The speedy utility man still looks to be stuck in a short-side platoon role.
