Yankees' Chase Hampton: Undergoes Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Hampton underwent Tommy John surgery Friday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Hampton had traveled back to New York to have his right elbow examined and got the worst possible news. If there's a silver lining, it's that having the operation now will give him a chance to return for the start of the 2026 season, or at least early on in the campaign.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: In New York getting elbow tested
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Hampton is dealing with a right flexor strain and "something going on with his UCL," Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Hampton is back in New York to be examined, and elbow surgery appears to be a distinct possibility. The 23-year-old was limited to just seven starts in 2024 due to elbow, shoulder and groin injuries. Hampton is one of the Yankees' better pitching prospects, and he likely would have began the season at Double-A Somerset if he hadn't suffered the elbow injury.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Invited to spring training
Rotowire
Hampton has received an invitation from the Yankees to participate in big-league spring training.
Hampton is one of the organization's top pitching prospects but is coming off an injury-plagued 2024 campaign during which he made just seven starts. The right-hander fared well when healthy, posting a 2.41 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 18.2 innings. Hampton has just 5.2 frames of experience above Single-A ball, so he's not likely to break camp with the major-league Yankees, though a big-league debut sometime in 2025 isn't out of the question.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Goes on Double-A IL
Rotowire
Double-A Somerset placed 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: Returns from Double-A IL
Rotowire
Double-A Somerset reinstated Hampton (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Hampton was cleared to rejoin the Double-A club after giving up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and six walks while striking out 12 across 13 innings over his five rehab outings between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Tampa. The right-hander had been on the shelf all season while battling shoulder discomfort as well as a right elbow strain.

Yankees' Chase Hampton: Begins rehab assignment in FCL
Rotowire
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: Moved to minor-league camp
Rotowire
The Yankees reassigned 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 Yankees have issued 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.
