Garrett Hampson - One start through four gamesHampson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
ImpactThe Rockies have now faced two right-handed starting pitchers and two left-handed starting pitchers to begin the season, with Hampson's lone entry into the lineup coming Sunday against a southpaw (Julio Urias). Colorado will oppose a lefty again Monday in Taylor Hearn, but Hampson's exclusion from the starting nine suggests he may not even have a short-side platoon role when all of the Rockies' key bats are at full strength.

Cody Bellinger - On base three times SundayBellinger went 2-for-3 with a run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Colorado.
ImpactBellinger went 0-for-8 with two strikeouts during the Dodgers' first two games of the campaign, evoking additional concern following a miserable spring during which he batted .139 with 18 strikeouts in 36 at-bats. His performance Sunday thus comes as a momentary sigh of relief for fantasy managers who have stock in him, though his first hit was merely a squibber that he beat out for a single. Bellinger's second single was a more impressive line drive to right field, and the 26-year-old also drew his first walk of the campaign. In 2019, Bellinger hit for a .305 average during his NL MVP season, but he has since batted .195 over 539 big-league at-bats. With his first base knocks of 2022 in the bag, he'll try to build momentum toward a bounce-back campaign during Los Angeles' upcoming two-game series in Minnesota.
