Cole Hamels

Cole Hamels experienced soreness around his left shoulder after a throwing session earlier this winter.

“We shut him down for a couple of weeks, but he’s fine now,” Phillies GM Ruben Amaro said Thursday. “He was being proactive more than anything else, which is good. We backed him off and slowed him down, but he’s back throwing now and doing fine. He’s had no complaints.” It doesn’t sound like a reason for concern at this point.

Cole Hamels notched his 17th victory by tossing seven innings of one-run ball in Sunday’s victory over the Marlins.

Hamels gave up just five hits, walked one and struck out eight. The left-hander went through a rough patch in the middle of the season, but his final numbers turned out great again. His 3.05 ERA is the second-best mark of his career, and his 216 strikeouts set a new career high.

Cole Hamels wasn?t at his best on Tuesday, but still managed to defeat the Nationals, allowing three runs on seven hits in his five innings of work.

Hamels punched out six and walked only one in the game. With the victory, Hamels has now won five consecutive decisions dating back to August 7. He?ll carry a 16-6 record, 3.15 ERA and 208/51 K/ BB ratio into his season finale against the Marlins in Miami on Sunday.

Cole Hamels allowed just two runs on six hits in six innings of work Wednesday, taking a no-decision in Philadelphia’s 3-2 win over the Mets.

Hamels struck out 10, walked one and allowed a solo home run against David Wright. The double-digit strikeout effort was his third of 2012, and puts him over 200 punchouts on the season. The 200-strikeout campaign in his second in three years. Through 203 1/3 frames, Hamels is now the owner of a 3.05 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. He’ll get the Nationals at home next week.

Cole Hamels pitched well in Friday’s victory over the Astros, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits over his seven innings.

Hamels racked up eight strikeouts while issuing only one walk in the game. He struggled to keep the ball in the yard, allowing a two-run homer to Matt Downs in the fourth inning and a solo bomb to Justin Maxwell in the fifth. Hamels has been as solid as ever this season, compiling a 15-6 record, 3.06 ERA and 192/49 K/BB ratio in 197 1/3 innings. He’ll look to carry that momentum over into Wednesday’s outing against the Mets in New York.

Saturday night’s game between the Rockies and the Phillies has been postponed due to rain, and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Sunday.

Indications are that Saturday’s scheduled starters, Cole Hamels and Tyler Chatwood, will square off in Game One.
