Hamels update; Park may move back a day


Cole Hamels' two-day break from throwing a baseball ended this morning.

The Phils' ace, who flew back to Philly earlier this week with tightness in his elbow, played long toss with Jamie Moyer. General manager Ruben Amaro said Hamels got up to 150-feet in the long-toss and was happy with his left-hander's progress.

"He threw with Jamie and threw well... he'll long toss again tomorrow," Amaro said. "We'll see if he comes out of that all right (and if that's the case) he'll probably be on the mound in a few days."

Did Hamels report any soreness?

"Only where he got the shot," Amaro said with a smile, referring to the anti-inflammatory injection Hamels had in his left arm Tuesday morning.

--------------------

In other injury news, Chan Ho Park reported soreness in his left hamstring, but Amaro didn't believe it was anything to be concerned about. Amaro said the team might flip Park with Carrasco or another pitcher if he needs an extra day.

Park is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday at Bright House Field against the Minnesota Twins.
