The Rangers have designated right-hander Dom Hamel for assignment to make room for newly signed right-hander Jakob Junis. Hamel, who turns 27 in March, has minimal major league experience, having pitched only one scoreless inning for the Mets before being claimed off waivers by the Rangers. He showed promise in Triple-A last season, achieving a 25.2% strikeout rate despite a 5.32 ERA and control issues. The Rangers have a week to decide his fate, as he has options remaining that could aid his transition to another team.
