Cole Hamels had a anti-inflammation shot for his tight left elbow a week ago today. On Thursday, he threw a long-toss session.

On Saturday, he got on the mound for the first time in a bullpen, side-session. Today, his first game action in a minor league tilt.

How does his left arm feel? Is the inflammation gone?

"Yeah, oh yeah, definitely," Hamels said. "It’s a good feeling to be able to move it around, not feel it – it’s great. Just going with that, I obviously know I’m going to feel good tomorrow because everything worked out (when) I threw the bullpen. I tried to up it more here to see how it feels, and it feels good."

Jimmy Rollins returned to camp today (with Shane Victorino).

Rollins was honored on Tuesday when he was named to the World Baseball Classic All-Tournament team. Rollins was the only member of Team USA on the team.

Rollins went 4-for-4 in Team USA's 9-4 loss to Japan in the semifinals and batted .417 with a home run and four RBIs in the tournament. He tied for the tournament lead in stolen bases, with four.

He also took over the third spot in the batting order when Chipper Jones got injured.

Over in Dunedin, the Phils scored three times in the ninth inning to beat the Blue Jays 7-6.

The most interesting thing: Chase Utley hit a two-run home run off Toronto closer B.J. Ryan in the seventh inning. It was Utley's first home run since hip surgery.
