Posts steal as pinch runner Hampson logged his 12th stolen base of the season as a pinch runner in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Hampson ran for Brendan Rodgers in the eighth inning and stole second, but he was left on base. The steal was Hampson's fifth since the start of September. The 27-year-old has slipped into a utility role off the bench lately as Alan Trejo has commanded more playing time. Hampson is slashing just .214/.292/.313 through 219 plate appearances this season.

Absent from Saturday's lineup Hampson isn't starting Saturday against the Padres, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Hampson hasn't seen much playing time recently and will head to the bench for the fifth time in the last six games. Alan Trejo is starting at the keystone and batting sixth.

Adds steal Sunday Hampson went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and three strikeouts in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Impact Hampson doubled and stole third in the ninth inning, though the Rockies were unable to cash him in. The 27-year-old's playing time has taken a dip lately with Alan Trejo picking up most of the time at shortstop while Jose Iglesias (thumb) has been out. Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) left Sunday's game early, which could allow Hampson a path back to regular playing time if Rodgers is out more than a day or two, though the injury isn't believed to be significant. Hampson is slashing .214/.294/.316 with 11 steals, two home runs, 14 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven doubles and three triples through 214 plate appearances.

Filling in for resting Grichuk Hampson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Hampson looked as though he might have been a beneficiary of more playing time when Kris Bryant (foot) was placed on the injured list Aug. 1, but Sam Hilliard and Elehuris Montero have instead seen their roles enhanced to a greater extent. However, with Yonathan Daza (shoulder) recently joining Bryant on the IL and with Randal Grichuk getting Thursday off, Hampson will pick up a start in the outfield. Hampson is in the lineup for only the sixth time in 17 August games.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In line for more opportunity Hampson went 0-for-3 Monday against the Padres.

Impact Hampson started in center field and hit ninth after Kris Bryant (foot) was scratched from the lineup. Bryant has since been placed on the injured list, which should open opportunity in the outfield for Hampson to earn more consistent playing time. Hampson's primary appeal comes from his speed, as he has six steals across 54 games this season.

AUGUST 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Thursday Hampson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Hampson had started the previous four games and went 5-for-14 with a pair of extra-base hits, a walk and a stolen base, but the Rockies don't look to have an everyday role available for him with Connor Joe's (general soreness) return to the lineup putting the team back at full strength. Expect the 27-year-old to function as a super-utility man moving forward, with most of his starting opportunities coming versus left-handed pitching.

Garners fourth consecutive start Hampson will start in center field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Impact Hampson will stay in the starting nine for the fourth straight contest at his third different position, this time filling in in center for a resting Randal Grichuk. The 27-year-old has earned the extra playing time by going 5-for-10 with a pair of extra-base hits, a walk, a stolen base and two runs over the past three contests, but the Rockies may prefer to limit Hampson's starting opportunities to mostly against left-handed pitching once the team is back to full strength.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies sixth stolen base Hampson went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored Monday against the Brewers.

Impact Hampson continues to serve primarily on the short side of a platoon, replacing Connor Joe in the lineup when Colorado faces a lefty. Hampson has hit well across his last 11 games, maintaining a .333 average with three RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases across 33 plate apperances. However, unless the team opts to regularly sit Randal Grichuk and Yonathan Daza against righties, Hampson has a limited path to more regular at-bats.

Sitting in third straight Hampson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Though he enters Sunday with an active seven-game hitting streak, Hampson will find himself on the bench for the third game in a row to close out the Rockies' first-half schedule. Now that Kris Bryant has returned from the paternity list and with C.J. Cron having overcome a recent wrist injury, the Rockies don't look like they'll have an everyday spot in the infield or outfield available for Hampson.

Swipes bag Friday Hampson went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 13-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Hampson had started six straight games in a row, going 6-for-21 (.286) in that span before hitting the bench Friday. He would end up playing about half of the game anyway, as Jose Iglesias exited the contest with neck stiffness at the start of the fifth inning. Hampson went on to extend his hitting streak to seven contests, with the surge lifting his season slash line to .241/.320/.366 in 127 plate appearances. He's added five stolen bases, two home runs, 12 RBI and 21 runs scored across 45 games.

Starting streak reaches six games Hampson will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Padres.

Impact He'll be included in the lineup for the sixth straight games, with Hampson having now started at four different positions. Kris Bryant (personal) is back from a three-game stint on the paternity list and C.J. Cron (wrist) is starting after sitting out four of the previous five contests, but the Rockies will still have a spot for Hampson with everyday third baseman Ryan McMahon getting a day off. Hampson has produced exactly one hit in each of his last five starts while adding three RBI and three runs.

Draws third consecutive start Hampson will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hampson has seen the majority of his time in the infield this season and started at shortstop the past two games while Jose Iglesias (head) was out of the lineup, but he'll get a look in the outfield Monday following Kris Bryant's (personal) placement on the paternity list. After going 2-for-9 with a pair of doubles, two RBI, a run and a stolen base during the Rockies' series in Arizona over the weekend, Hampson will get a chance to build on that performance as Colorado begins a seven-game homestand to close out its first-half schedule.
