Braves sent RHP Ian Hamilton outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The veteran can refuse the assignment if he’d like. He allowed three runs in his only MLB appearance earlier this season. He has already been outrighted by the Braves once this year and seems likely to stick around as depth.

Braves designated RHP Ian Hamilton for assignment.

Hamilton has allowed three runs on two hits in one inning this season. His fastball velocity is down a bit, but he has a 3.75 career ERA in 151 1/3 MLB innings, so somebody is likely to give him another shot.

Braves selected the contract of RHP Ian Hamilton from Triple-A Gwinnett

Hamilton was signed to a non-guaranteed contract this offseason, so he needed to be added to the 40-man roster to be promoted. Last season, he had a 4.28 ERA in 40 innings for the Yankees, but fell out of their bullpen mix at the end of the year. This season, he has allowed two runs on four hits in 6 1/3 innings at Triple-A with a 9/1 K/BB ratio.

Braves sent RHP Ian Hamilton outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Hamilton struggled last year with the Yankees, getting booted from the roster after their trade deadline acquisitions came in. He finished with a 4.28 ERA in 40 innings and did not reappear for the Yankees at any point in August, September, or October. He’d pitched in just two games with the Braves in Spring Training, managing a 5.40 ERA and a 3.00 WHIP.

Braves signed RHP Ian Hamilton to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract.

Hamilton will get a chance to compete for a spot in Atlanta’s bullpen, and while he’s on the 40-man roster, there’s no guaranteed cash for the 30-year-old. He was non-tendered by the Yankees after posting a 4.28 ERA over 36 appearances with a K/BB of 42/22 to go with it.

Yankees non-tendered RHP Michael Arias, RHP Jake Cousins, RHP Scott Effross, RHP Ian Hamilton and RHP Mark Leiter Jr.

All five hurlers non-tendered have dealt with injuries over the last few years, and the Yankees will allow all to test free agency. Leiter Jr. has the stuff to be a high-leverage option, but teams will likely be reticent of investing too much in a 34-year-old that has missed as much time as he has.

Yankees optioned RHP Ian Hamilton to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

A consequence of the Yankees adding three relievers at the deadline. Hamilton has dealt with injuries, but this is first time being sent down since the Yankees called him up just a few days into the 2023 season. He had a 4.28 ERA in 40 innings so far this season. Since debuting with the Yankees, he has a 3.45 ERA and a 152/62 K/BB in 135 2/3 innings.

Ian Hamilton allowed three runs in one inning and took the loss against the Braves on Friday.

Hamilton was the Yankees’ choice as the opener Friday with Max Fried and Cam Schlitter both dealing with issues that will push their first appearances of the second half to next week. The 30-year-old Hamilton allowed three runs on doubles to Matt Olsen and Ronald Acuna and a sacrifice fly by Ozzie Albies. The Yankees couldn’t recover from the 3-0 deficit, saddling Hamilton with his first loss of the season.

With Max Fried seemingly unavailable due to his blister, the Yankees will start Ian Hamilton in Friday’s game against Atlanta.

The Yankees are opening the second half with an opener. Marcus Stroman and Cam Schlitter could both be available in relief, but those plans haven’t been disclosed. There hasn’t been any update on whether Fried will be available at all this weekend. If Fried can’t go, we imagine the Yankees will use Will Warren tomorrow and Carlos Rodón on Sunday.

Yankees activated RHP Ian Hamilton (illness) from the 15-day injured list.

Hamilton picked up a viral illness towards the end of spring training that sidelined him for a few weeks and required a brief rehab stint to build his stamina back up. He should immediately join the middle relief bridge to Luke Weaver and Devin Williams in the Yankees’ bullpen. Adam Ottavino was designated for assignment to make room on the active roster.
