Player Notes
September 15, 2009
Mike Hampton underwent successful left shoulder surgery on Tuesday, according to MLB.com's Alyson Footer.

Our View:The surgery revealed a full tear of his rotator cuff and some partial labral damage, and he will miss all of 2010. Clearly, the sun has set on his injury-ravaged career. In 409 career games (355 starts), he has gone 148-115 with a 4.07 ERA. In 2009, he went 7-10 with a 5.31 ERA in 21 starts.
September 12, 2009
Mike Hampton will have left shoulder surgery on Tuesday, according to ESPN.

Our View:Hampton was already done for the year, and he has said he would like to pitch again in 2010. Coupled with his truly absurd injury history, his 7-10 record and 5.30 ERA from this season should make him reconsider.
September 7, 2009
Mike Hampton has been transferred to the 60-day DL by the Astros, according to TSN.

Our View:Hampton will miss the remainder of the 2009 campaign following surgery on his left shoulder.
August 29, 2009
Mike Hampton (shoulder discomfort) will not pitch again this season, according to MLB.com's Alyson Footer.

Our View:Hampton was unable to throw yesterday, and will apparently have to have surgery on his left shoulder. It sounds like it might be about time for the injury-plagued Hampton to call it a day on his major league career.
August 25, 2009
According to the Twitter page of Astros' beat writer Brian McTaggart, pitcher Mike Hampton underwent plasma replacement therapy on his left rotator cuff on Monday night. Hampton said he will know whether he will pitch again this season by the end of the team's current road trip.

Our View:Hampton decided to go through with the procedure yesterday, so we should know more about his status in the next few days. The procedure has helped out several players this season, but it remains to be seen if it can help Hampton enough to allow him to pitch this season. We aren't counting on it.
