With minor league game cancelled, Hamels pushed back


Cole Hamels was scheduled to pitch today... but according to pitching coach Rich Dubee, the ace was never scheduled to pitch against the Red Sox.

Hamels was on tap to throw in a minor-league game. But an overnight dumping of wet weather, which continued into the morning, washed away that game.

According to Dubee, Hamels will pitch Monday. It hasn't been determined if that will come in a minor league game or against the Astros at Bright House Field.

Hamels has not been ruled out to start the season opener a week from tonight, but remains a long shot. I'd say he has a 10 percent chance to make that start against the Braves on April 5.
