Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Will remain in utility role
Hampson will continue in a utility role while Tim Tawa gets the majority of playing time at second base in place of the injured Ketel Marte (hamstring), Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports. "Yeah, I think we'll still put Garrett into that role of, you know, primary backup, occasional starting," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.
Hampson filled in for Marte on Friday when he was removed in the first inning of Arizona's 6-4 win over the Nationals. The club placed Marte on the injured list Saturday and called up Tawa for his MLB debut. Hampson entered Saturday's game in the ninth inning as a pinch runner for third baseman Eugenio Suarez.

Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Steps in at second base
Hampson replaced an injured Ketel Marte (hamstring) at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 6-4 win over Washington.
Hampson entered as a pinch runner when Marte pulled up on a first-inning double. The injury was determined to be a left hamstring strain, and there's no timetable for his recovery. Hampson is expected to fill in for the final two games of the series and could continue on as the primary second baseman should Marte require more than a few days to heal. If Marte is added to the injured list, it's possible the Diamondbacks could call up a body from Triple-A Reno that can play second base. Hampson is 1-for-6 with three walks, one steal and three runs scored through four games this season.

Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Ignominious Arizona debut
Hampson entered as a pinch runner and was responsible for the final out of the game in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.
The veteran utility player prevailed over Ildemaro Vargas for Arizona's final roster spot partially due to his speed. Unfortunately for Hampson, who was making his debut with his new team, an over-aggressive play on the basepaths led to the game-ending out -- he took a wide turn at third base on Corbin Carroll's slow chopper to short, and got caught when Dansby Swanson faked a throw to first. Hampson isn't likely to offer much fantasy value in his bench role anyway, but moments like this won't earn him more playing time.

Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Added to Arizona's roster
The Diamondbacks selected Hampson to the major-league roster Sunday.
The 30-year-old exercised the opt-out clause of his minor-league contract with Arizona on Friday, and the organization elected to fully bring him aboard rather than let him hit free agency. Hampson has a .300/.396/.375 slash line through 17 spring games, though he posted a career-worst .575 OPS in 113 regular-season contests for Kansas City last year. He likely won't have fantasy relevance while filling a utility role.

Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Exercises out-out clause
Hampson exercised the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Hampson remains in the running for a spot on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day bench, but triggering his opt-out clause now allows him to reach free agency if he does not make the team. The utility player is battling Ildemaro Vargas for Arizona's final bench spot.

Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Swipes bag, knocks in two Sunday
Hampson started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two RBI in Sunday's spring game against San Diego.
Hampson remains in the mix for the final rotation spot along with Ildemaro Vargas and Jordan Lawlar. The Diamondbacks likely want a utility player, which precludes Lawlar, who doesn't offer much position versatility at this point. Plus, it's unlikely the organization wants the prospect sitting on a bench in the majors. That leaves Hampson (.738 OPS, two steals, seven RBI, 13 spring games) and Vargas (.971 OPS, five extra-base hits, seven RBI, 15 games) as the most likely competitors for the 26th spot on the roster.

Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Agrees to NRI deal with Arizona
The Diamondbacks signed Hampson to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Hampson slashed only .230/.275/.300 with zero home runs and seven stolen bases over 113 regular-season contests with the Royals in 2024. The 30-year-old played seven different positions for Kansas City and will operate as a utility player, either in Arizona or at Triple-A Reno.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: On base three times in nightcap
Hampson went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in a 9-4 win over the Guardians in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader.
Hampson has been a regular in the lineup versus southpaws in August. That said, he hasn't done much, batting just .175 (7-for-40) with no extra-base hits and two walks over 15 contests. Hampson has yet to hit a home run this year, adding 12 doubles, one triple, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven stolen bases while slashing .239/.281/.314 across 201 plate appearances.

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

Royals' Garrett Hampson: Nabs steal Wednesday
Hampson went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in a 6-4 win over the Cardinals in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Hampson got the start in center field for the first half of the doubleheader, giving Kyle Isbel some rest. Hampson's last three hits have all been doubles, but they've come over a span of 17 at-bats across his last six games. The versatile 29-year-old is slashing .262/.301/.349 with six steals, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and no home runs across 135 plate appearances this season. He's mainly filled a short-side platoon role in center field, though he can play all over the diamond if necessary.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: Returning to bench Sunday
Hampson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Hampson picked up starts at second base and center field the past two games while the Royals faced off against a pair of lefties, going 0-for-7 with an RBI between those contests. The Royals should continue to open up regular playing time for the utility player versus left-handed pitching, but Hampson's opportunities to play against righties are expected to remain limited.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: Productive from bottom of order
Hampson went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-1 win over the Rays.
Getting the start in center field and batting ninth with lefty Tyler Alexander lined up to be the primary pitcher for Tampa Bay, Hampson kept the line moving as he reached base three times, the second time he's accomplished that in his last six starts. Of late, the 29-year-old has mainly been used as a platoon partner for Kyle Isbel, and Hampson's been effective in that role -- on the season he's slashing .306/.359/.389 in 40 plate appearances against southpaws.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: On base three times in win
Hampson went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Angels.
Hampson was one of five Royals with a multi-hit effort in the high-scoring win. The utility man continues to handle a short-side platoon role while splitting his time between second base, left field and center field. He's hit well when given the chance, batting .268 (11-for-41) with no home runs, two doubles, three RBI, five runs scored and four steals.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: Two steals in Saturday's win
Hampson went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Mets.
Hampson got the start in center field with the Royals facing lefty Sean Manaea. This was Hampson's first multi-hit game of the season, and he took advantage of the extra time on the basepaths to pick up his second and third steals. The utility man is batting .211 with one RBI, four runs scored and a double through 20 plate appearances, and he's also struck out 10 times. Kyle Isbel (.244) isn't hitting much better, but it's enough to keep both players in their current platoon situation.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: Picks up first steal
Hampson stole a base as a pinch runner in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles.
Hampson has played in three of the Royals' four games so far, but he hasn't started any of them. The 29-year-old offers speed and defensive versatility off the bench, a role that is more valuable on the field than in fantasy. He is hitless through four at-bats, so he'll need to show more with the bat to have any chance to carve out a larger role.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: Seen as top utility option
Hampson is projected to be the Royals' main utility player this season, Anne Rogers of the Royals' official site reports.
Hampson can cover a number of positions -- he's played everywhere but first base and catcher in his major-league career. Rogers notes it's likely Hampson won't have a single position, but he could still come close to everyday playing time by providing cover around the diamond. He hit a career-high .276 with his second-base OPS (.729) last season with the Marlins, which is impressive given he spent his first five seasons with the Rockies, so his move to the Royals alone shouldn't end up having a negative impact on his play.
