Dom Hamel News: Goes to Yankees via waiver claim

Published on January 27, 2026

The Yankees claimed Hamel off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday.

Hamel made one appearance for the Mets in 2025 and spent the rest of the year at Triple-A Syracuse, posting a 5.32 ERA and 75:22 K:BB over 67.2 innings. The 26-year-old will compete for a spot in the Yankees' bullpen but does have minor-league options remaining.
