While reports surfaced early in the day about the Dodgers signing lefty pitcher Cole Hamels to a contract though the remainder of the 2021 season, the team made the move official with an announcement late Wednesday afternoon.
To clear space on the 40-man roster, the club designated righty pitcher Yefry Ramirez for assignment.
Three weeks ago, the Dodgers were among several teams in attendance when the 37-year-old Hamels held a pitching showcase in Texas.
In 2020, Hamels singed with the Braves for a one-year, $18 million deal, but injuries kept him off the field for all but one game.
