Garrett Hampson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in the Royals' 9-4 victory over the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, while modest, continues to highlight Hampson's role as a utility player who can contribute in multiple categories, particularly in stolen bases. Despite a lackluster .239 batting average for the season, his ability to swipe bases and score runs can provide sporadic boosts in roto leagues. However, his low power numbers and high strikeout rate limit his appeal primarily to deeper leagues or as a streaming option in matchups that favor high stolen base potential. His consistency at the plate remains a concern, and fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely to gauge his value moving forward.
