CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -Phillies ace Cole Hamels says he feels good after his first start since experiencing elbow tightness last week.
The World Series MVP threw 3 2-3 scoreless innings in a minor league game Tuesday at Philadelphia’s spring training complex. It was his first game appearance since receiving an anti-inflammatory shot in his arm last Tuesday.
Hamels allowed one hit and one walk while striking out five of his 13 batters. The left-hander threw 35 of 48 pitches for strikes.
Hamels is tentatively scheduled to pitch in a Grapefruit League game Sunday against Boston.
If all continues to go well, Hamels would pitch again a day or two before opening day, meaning he wouldn’t be on the mound when the World Series champions open the season April 5 against Atlanta.
