Hamulack

The Dodgers need Hamulack’s roster spot when they activate Hong-Chih Kuo. Neither pitcher should be on fantasy rosters.

Hamulack gave up 21 runs -- 18 earned -- in 24 2/3 innings while spending the first two months of the season with the Dodgers. He’ll be the second lefty in the club’s pen.

Hamulack, 28, had a 1.26 ERA in 21 appearances for Double-A Binghamton and a 1.02 ERA in 28 appearances for Triple-A Norfolk. He’ll be making his major league debut.

The Mets roster is down to 59, not including the figurine Pedro Martinez likes to carry around.

Hamulack, who served three stints in the Dodger pen last season, was 0-1 with a 4.00 ERA and one save in seven appearances for Triple-A Las Vegas.

This was originally reported as a minor league contract, but the Red Sox decided to add the reliever to their 40-man roster. Hamulack, 27, spent most of last year at Double-A San Antonio and had a 2.09 ERA in 40 appearances. He’ll get a chance to compete for a bullpen spot in spring training, but since it will be a crowded Boston bullpen, he’ll probably head to Triple-A.

Hamulack has given up one run, one hit and two walks in 7 2/3 innings this spring. If the season started today, he’d probably be the second lefty in the Boston pen.

Jamey Wright, Doug Waechter and Robinson Tejeda claimed the final three spots in the pen, though only Wright had a better spring than the above group. Incredibly, Tejeda had a 27/17 K/BB ratio to go along with his 6.23 ERA in 17 1/3 innings.

The Red Sox roster is down to 25, but the team will make one more move tomorrow. Rule 5 pick Lenny DiNardo will go on the DL, and Bobby M. Jones will have his contract purchased.
