Dom Hamel News: Removed from 40-man roster

Published on January 20, 2026

The Rangers designated Hamel for assignment Tuesday.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Jakob Junis, whose signing was officially announced Tuesday. Hamel has not made an appearance for the Rangers since being a waiver claim in September. He held a 5.32 ERA and 75:22 K:BB over 67.2 frames at Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization in 2025.
