Former Phillies Cole Hamels and Chase Utley have returned to the headlines
Even though we are just shy of 12 years since LHP Cole Hamels and 2B Chase Utley helped lead the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies to the franchise’s second-ever championship, both are still making headlines ahead of this year’s Opening Day.
Hamels, 36, has been placed on the Atlanta Braves’ 45-day injured list with left triceps tendinitis; with the 2020 regular season only 66 days in length, this could be a season-ending injury if he the 2008 World Series MVP does not make a quick turnaround upon activation.
