The Reds signed Hampson to a minor-league contract Dec. 29.

Jan 9Rotowire

The Reds were one of three major-league teams that Hampson spent time with in 2025, though he managed just a .419 OPS over 62 games between the three stops. The 31-year-old will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Louisville, where he will give the Reds utility depth.

The Cardinals released Hampson on Thursday.

9/12/25Rotowire

Hampson passed through waivers after being designated for assignment and is now a free agent. The utility player has slashed just .143/.250/.169 over 91 plate appearances between the Diamondbacks, Reds and Cardinals this season.

The Cardinals designated Hampson for assignment Monday.

9/8/25Rotowire

Hampson was claimed off waivers from the Reds in late June but received only five starts and 35 plate appearances during his time in St. Louis. He'll now go through the waivers process again after losing his spot on the Cardinals' 40-man roster.

Hampson is expected to be designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

9/7/25Rotowire

Hampson will be dropped from the team's 40-man roster as Alec Burleson (wrist) makes his return from the 10-day injured list Monday. Hampson went 3-for-29 with a double, an RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base after the team claimed him off waivers June 24.

Hampson will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game versus the Cubs.

6/26/25Rotowire

A waiver claim earlier this week, Hampson has now started back-to-back games in center field against left-handed pitching. It appears the utility player will form the short side of a platoon at the position with Victor Scott.
