That's how the Reds got Chapman on the post season roster in 2010, I think Harang was transferred to make room.
HOWEVER, IIRC, it would have to be a position player transferred, you can't transfer a pitcher to the 60 man DL and have Hamilton take his spot.
Roster geniuses can correct any errors I make.

The Reds called Chapman up on August 31st that year, making him eligible for the postseason roster.
