Yankees' Chase Hampton: Goes on Double-A IL
Double-A Somerset placed Chase Hampton on the 7-day injured list Tuesday with a groin injury, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.Hampton has missed a large chunk of this season with shoulder and elbow issues, but thankfully, his new injury isn't arm-related. It's unclear how long the right-hander might be sidelined. Hampton has been limited to just 18.2 innings this season, tossing 5.2 scoreless frames during his time with Somerset.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Begins rehab assignment in FCL
Chase Hampton (shoulder) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday as he continues to work his way back from a UCL sprain in his right elbow, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.Back in the spring, Brendan Samson of MLB.com relayed that Hampton's placement on Double-A Somerset's injured list to begin the season was the result of shoulder discomfort. While it's possible that Hampton had been bothered by his shoulder at the time, Phillips' report suggests that it's the right-hander's elbow that had kept him from pitching in games until July. Hampton was unsurprisingly rusty Monday in his first outing in the FCL, striking out two batters but giving up one earned run on one hit and two walks over 1.1 innings. He'll likely make additional starts in the FCL or with Single-A Tampa before eventually slotting back into the Double-A rotation at some point after the All-Star break.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Shifts to 60-day IL
Double-A Somerset transferred Chase Hampton (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.Hampton has yet to make his 2024 debut after he contended with right shoulder discomfort coming out of spring training. According to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Hampton has resumed a throwing program, but the 22-year-old right-hander still looks to be at least a month away from joining the Somerset rotation.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Out with shoulder discomfort
Chase Hampton is opening the year on the injured list with Double-A Somerset due to shoulder discomfort, Brendan Samson of MLB.com reports.One of the New York Yankees' best pitching prospects, Hampton was expected to split the season between Double-A and Triple-A, but this shoulder issue will put those plans on hold indefinitely. The 6-foot-2 righty has enough pitches and command to start, headlined by a mid-90s fastball with excellent movement, but he is behind Luis Gil and Will Warren developmentally and projects more as a 2025 big-league option.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Moved to minor-league camp
The New York Yankees reassigned Chase Hampton to minor-league camp Sunday.Hampton is one of the organization's top pitching prospects, and he got into one Grapefruit League contest this spring, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two batters in one scoreless inning. He has yet to reach the Triple-A level in the minors, however, so he was never expected to compete for a spot on the big-league Opening Day roster. If Hampton continues to show success on the farm, he could get a look in the majors at some point in 2024.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Invited to spring training
The New York Yankees have issued Chase Hampton in invitation to participate in major-league spring training, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.Hampton was a sixth-round selection by New York in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft and split time between High-A and Double-A last season, totaling a 3.63 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and an impressive 145:37 K:BB over 106.2 innings across 20 starts. The right-hander logged 59.2 of those frames with Double-A Somerset, so it's feasible that he could open the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level. If he continues to thrive in the minors, Hampton could get his first look in the big leagues as soon as the upcoming season.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Earns promotion to Double-A
Chase Hampton was promoted from High-A Hudson Valley to Double-A Somerset on Thursday.Arguably the top pop-up pitching prospect of the minor-league season, Hampton laid waste to the Sally League, logging a 2.68 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 47 innings across nine starts.
