Some teams were concerned free-agent pitcher Jason Hammel was at a heightened risk for an elbow injury, according to ESPN.

Hammel wound up signing a one-year, $6 million deal with the Cubs. Earlier in the offseason, it was reported the Giants wanted to see his medical records. They wound up passing on a deal. Hammel missed about a month last year due to a forearm injury. He posted a 4.97 ERA in 139 1/3 innings.
