JD Hammer - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Joining Colorado Hammer signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hammer elected free agency after being outrighted by the Phillies earlier in November, and he's now latched on with the Rockies. The 27-year-old had a 4.95 ERA over 20 big-league innings and a 3.80 ERA in 23.2 frames at Triple-A last season.

Optioned to Lehigh Valley Hammer was Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The right-hander has endured a rough month of September that was topped off by allowing five runs on four hits and a walk across just one-third of an inning during Thursday's win over the Cubs. Hammer held a tidy 1.65 ERA and 1.16 WHIP at the conclusion of August, so the Phillies will hope he can regain form with Lehigh Valley and become an option to rejoin the major-league bullpen before season's end. Reliever Damon Jones was called up to take Hammer's spot on the 28-man roster.

Reinstated from COVID-19 IL Hammer was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Hammer landed on the COVID-19 IL on July 20. He wound up spending just seven days off the active roster, which indicates he most likely never tested positive for the virus. The right-hander has not appeared in a big-league game since mid-June, but he did not allow an earned run in either of his two one-inning outings this season.
