Garrett Hampson News: Starts in center field

Hampson started in center field and went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

Hampson made a second consecutive start in center field in place of Alek Thomas against a left-hander. Thomas, who is routinely out of lineups against lefties, made a start against a southpaw last week, but that appears to have been a one-game event. Hampson is 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in the two starts and is batting .167 overall through 17 games.
