The Associated Press reports Philadelphia Phillies SP Cole Hamels (shoulder) said he expects to make his next scheduled start Tuesday, April 28, against the Washington Nationals. Hamels was hit by a line drive Thursday, April 23, and was forced to leave the game. Hamels said, “I’ll be fine. I have a lot of fragile parts, so I’m fortunate it didn’t hit me in a danger area. I just have a temporary tattoo of a baseball on the back of my shoulder.”
Our instinct: Other than the ball he left up for Ryan Braun to tatoo, Hamels looked pretty good. Sounds like a lot of fantasy owners can breath a sigh of relief that their young stud is going to be just fine.
