The Los Angeles Dodgers signed veteran southpaw Cole Hamels during the first week of August to give them needed depth in their starting rotation, but less than two weeks after he joined the organization, the team placed him on the 60-day injured list.
The 37-year-old was working to build up his arm strength and was expected to be on the active roster by Sept. 2, but sustained a shoulder injury. On Aug. 7, Hamels was scheduled to throw a two-inning simulated game but he only ended up going one inning.
After his short outing, manager Dave Roberts said the four-time All-Star was fine and it was because the team had simply seen him throw enough.
