Hampson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hampson will hit the bench after starting in each of the past three games. After going 4-for-6 with a solo home run in the first two of those contests, Hampson fell back to earth in a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Sunday, when he struck out in four of his five plate appearances. Joey Wendle will step back in at shortstop on Monday and still appears to be the Marlins' preferred option at the position.

Hampson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The utility player got the Marlins on the board in the fifth inning when he slashed an Aaron Nola fastball over the left-field fence. Hampson's playing time continues to pick up, both due to his current form and due to the lack of consistent production from the likes of Joey Wendle, and he's started five of the last nine games for Miami -- three at shortstop and two at third base. Over that stretch, Hampson's batting .391 (9-for-23) with two of his three homers on the season.

Hampson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The utility player got the start at third base before shifting to right field as part of a late-game double switch, and Hampson would up providing the biggest blow in the Marlins' four-run rally in the 11th inning when he drove a Mason Thompson sinker over the wall in center field. Hampson has started two straight games at the hot corner as a defensive upgrade on Jake Burger, who has slotted in at DH while Jorge Soler (hip) is banged up, but he hadn't been in the starting nine since late July prior to that. Hampson's been productive when he's gotten the opportunity, however -- in each of his last four starts dating back to July 26, he's produced multiple hits.

Hampson was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

This move corresponds to Jazz Chisholm (oblique) getting activated from the 10-day injured list. Hampson hit .615 in 13 July at-bats, although he rarely started and often appeared as a pinch runner or defensive replacement.

Hampson went 3-for-4 with one double, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over Detroit.

Though Hampson has only been in the starting lineup three times since being called up in early July, he's been incredibly productive at the plate, batting 8-for-13 (.615) with five runs scored and has struck out just once in 13 plate appearances.
