The Colorado Rockies announced a roster move prior to this afternoon’s rubber match against the Chicago Cubs. Super utilityman Garrett Hampson is heading to the 10-day IL with a right hand contusion.
Hampson has seen limited playing time so far with a crowded Rockies bench. In three starts he’s 1-for-9 with two strikeouts, two walks, and a stolen base. His last appearance was April 15th against the Cubs, where he likely suffered the hand contusion.
The Rockies announced today that they have placed INF/OF Garrett Hampson on the 10-day injured list with a right hand contusion and have recalled infielder Colton Welker from Triple-A Albuquerque.
