He made his big-league debut on September 2, 2005, when the Mets played the Florida Marlins. He pitched in six games in 2005 and posted an ERA of 23.14.

On January 4, 2006, Hamulack found himself a part of his fourth organization in four years, as he was dealt from the Mets to the Los Angeles Dodgers along with Jae Weong Seo in exchange for relievers Steve Schmoll and Duaner Sanchez.

On January 17, 2008, he signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals.
