The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that Padres RP Justin Hampson's injured shoulder is still bothering him. "He can't get rid of the soreness," manager Bud Black said. (Updated 04/24/2008).
Injury Report
Shoulder - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-May (Updated - 4/27/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Hampson was a solid relief option for the Padres in 2007. He went 2-3 with a 2.70 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings. He figures to factor into the bullpen at some point in 2008. However, Hampson is nothing more than a low-end middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men when active. (Updated 04/24/2008).
