Cole Hamels says he hopes to make his next start and unlike Thursday, this was no prank.
Hamles missed Friday's start with the St. Louis Cardinals with a mild right hamstring strain. He has his eye toward his next start Wednesday against the host New York Yankees.
"I'll throw a bullpen on Sunday and go back to my normal day start on Wednesday; that is the plan," Hamels said before Friday's game.
Of course, much will depends on how he feels after the bullpen session on Sunday.
Hamels insists that he wasn't going on the disabled list and says he is feeling much better.
