CLEVELAND (AP) — Texas Rangers left-hander Cole Hamels has been activated from the 10-day disabled list in time to start Monday against the Cleveland Indians.
Hamels has been out for eight weeks with a strained oblique muscle. He was injured warming up for a scheduled start May 2 against Houston and placed on the DL on April 30 in a retroactive move.
Hamels is 2-0 with a 3.03 ERA in five starts. He made two minor league rebab starts.
