Hamels may miss start; Utley out of lineup after getting hit by pitch

Cole Hamels threw a bullpen session before Saturday's game and "felt some soreness," according to Phils general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.


Amaro said Hamels is still day-to-day and will be reevaluated when the team arrives at Busch Stadium in St. Louis Monday. But there's a chance Hamels won't pitch against the Cardinals.

"It is very possible he could not make that start," Amaro said.

Hamels suffered a mild ankle sprain while fielding a bunt during his most recent start, Tuesday night against the Nationals.

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

Also, Chase Utley is out of today's starting lineup. Charlie Manuel told me Utley is sporting a sizable bruise on his foot after getting hit by a pitch Friday night.

Amaro didn't believe it was anything the team needed to be concerned with, brushing off a question if Utley needed the foot to be examined with an X-ray or MRI.
