Gwinnett Stripers News Release


The R-Braves are anticipating that left-handed pitcher Mike Hampton may start Friday as he takes the hill in a rehab assignment against Norfolk at The Diamond at 7 PM. Hampton is trying to make it back to the big leagues for the first time since 2005. He enjoyed an outstanding spring (1-0 2.16 in five outings) but suffered a pectoral injury while warming up for his first regular season start of 2008 on April 3. Hampton won 32 games in two and a half years with Atlanta but has not appeared in a big league game since August 19, 2005 due to a pair of elbow surgeries. Hampton has won 10 or more games in eight different big league seasons in a career that began with Seattle in 1993. He appeared once previously with Richmond on a rehab assignment in 2005.
