The New York Yankees activated pitcher Chase Hampton from the temporarily inactive list ahead of their game against the Houston Astros on August 28, 2026. Hampton, a former top-10 prospect, was returned to the Somerset Patriots' rotation after an 18-day absence. The right-hander's inactive period was not due to a new injury, but for personal reasons. He had previously undergone Tommy John surgery in February 2025, and his performance this season has been challenging, with an 0-6 record and an 8.19 ERA across 48.1 innings. The Yankees’ game against the Astros follows a series split and features ace Gerrit Cole on the mound, aiming for a series win to enhance their Wild Card standing.
