Roman continued to heap praise on the rookie, saying, “You don’t see a lot of guys find a hole like he’s doing right now.” Backed by No. 22 overall draft capital, fantasy managers are rightfully expecting a large workload for Hampton out of the gates. Free agent addition Najee Harris could stand in his way, but it doesn’t sound like Roman is going to simply hand the veteran the starting gig. Hampton could take on a high-end RB2 workload early in the year if he continues to impress during the offseason program.

Stroman punched out six batters, issued two walks and threw 46 pitches (27 strikes) in his rehab debut. He was sitting in the 89-mph range with his sinker, according to The Athletic’s Brendan Kuty. The 34-year-old veteran righty is aiming to rejoin New York’s rotation mix at some point in the coming weeks as he wraps up his rehabilitation process from knee inflammation.

Cordero has been cut loose by Washington after hitting .213 (32-for-150) with four homers over 44 games this season for Triple-A Rochester. The 30-year-old’s immense raw power and athleticism wound up being undone by an extreme all-or-nothing approach at the dish once he reached the majors last decade as he consistently struggled to carve out a role at the highest level.

Chisholm is back at third base and batting fifth on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium following an early exit from Tuesday’s contest with neck tightness. The 27-year-old speedster checked out fine after a hard tag from Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia on a sixth-inning stolen base prompted his removal. He voiced his displeasure following the game, so it’ll be interesting to see if there are any fireworks during Wednesday’s showdown in Kansas City.

Second-round safety Andrew Mukuba is the only unsigned draft pick for Philly. Campbell is currently recovering from surgery related to the torn labrum he suffered in his final collegiate season. The versatile defender has been observing the inside linebackers in Philly’s offseason program, giving us some idea of where he will play to start his career. After trading up one spot to land Campbell in the first round, it’s safe to assume the Eagles will ramp up his workload as soon as he is healthy.

Langford managed to bust out of a prolonged slump on Tuesday night when he went 2-for-6 with his 12th round-tripper of the season. It was the first time that he and fellow former top prospect Evan Carter homered in the same ballgame. The 23-year-old will look to keep the momentum going over the final two games in Minnesota before he gets to face an abysmal White Sox pitching staff.
