Hamels to 15-day DL
Update [2006-5-24 19:22:43 by dajafi]: Hamels will miss at least two starts, according to the Inquirer. Clay Condrey has been recalled to take his roster spot, and Ryan Madson will return to the rotation.
Apparently, the "savior" Cole Hamels has hurt his left shoulder and is out for his start against NY. Lieber will start instead.
On a bad night, it's just gotten worse.
It'll be interesting to see what becomes of this. Hopefully, he's just got a strain and he'll be back to pitch on, say, Saturday or Sunday. If he's out, I guess it means Madson back to the rotation on the heels of his 7+ inning quality relief outing.

Two pops
On the other hand, my shoulders and other joints pop all the time, with no ill effects. Hopefully Hamels' symptom is similar.

no idea
I'm just bummed because I'm going tonight, and was really looking forward to seeing him pitch.

Hamels feeling better
"It's unfortunate I had to go on the DL," Hamels said. "I could pitch [Friday], [Saturday] and the next day. It never really hurt to begin with. It just felt different. The next morning when I woke up, I was like, 'Dang, if I wouldn't have said something, I could've pitched.'
"But if I wouldn't have said something and it would've been serious, I could've been out on the mound in that game and done something bad."
That's the point. Considering Hamels' injury history, he and the organization have reason to be skittish whenever Hamels says ouch. The lefty has been limited to 51 innings over the past two seasons because of back, hand and elbow injuries, so the alarms justifiably went off.
"I've had that enough with my elbow and my back," he said. "Every time I've heard a pop, it's led to a worse-case scenario. This is best, to get that knowledge that nothing's wrong. In this game, cracks are kind of scary."
Especially with Hamels. He's been on anti-inflammatories as a precaution, and he was told not to throw for two to four days. Hamels plans to throw a bullpen session on Saturday, and expects to be activated on June 3, where he would start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, less than two hours from his hometown of San Diego.
