Prior to their series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a flurry of roster moves, which included recalling Andre Jackson and selecting the contract of Neftalí Féliz.
To make room for them on the active roster, the Dodgers optioned Edwin Uceta and Darien Núñez to Triple-A Oklahoma City. In somewhat of a surprise, L.A. also placed Cole Hamels to the 60-day injured list in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Féliz.
The move ended Hamels’ comeback attempt before it truly began. He signed with the Dodgers earlier this month and was working to build up his arm strength in preparation of potentially joining the club in September.
