Garrett Hampson To Be Regular With Brendan Rodgers On IL
5 years agoThe Colorado Rockies placed shortstop Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right shoulder impingement. Rodgers has been dealing with inflammation and some tendinitis since he made an awkward throw to first base last Saturday. With Trevor Story also sidelined, Garrett Hampson should see most of the time at the 6, with Pat Valaika also being an option. Rodgers is one of the club's top prospects, but he's struggled in the majors this year, hitting .224 with no home runs. Hampson hasn't been any better with a .190/.232/.257 slash line, one homer, six RBI and two steals, but he's worth a flier in NL-only leagues while he's playing regularly.
