The Dodgers put Cole Hamels on the 60-day injured list, ending his season before he could make an official appearance.
Hamels recently suffered some form of arm injury, reports Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Hamels missed almost all of last season with the Braves dealing with triceps and shoulder issues. He stayed on the free agent market for the entire offseason and the first half of the 2021 campaign before conducting a showcase in mid-July.
That led to a one-year, $1 million deal with the Dodgers two weeks ago, with the hope that Hamels could build up as a late-season rotation option for Los Angeles.
Cole Hamels had arm pain again and is done for the year while the #Dodgers are on the hook for $1 million.
