4 years agoAtlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that starting pitcher Cole Hamels (triceps) will likely be unavailable for the start of the regular season. Hamels will almost certainly be placed on the injured list for the start of the year after being shut down in summer camp with left triceps tendinitis. Kyle Wright or Josh Tomlin could benefit from extra innings in Atlanta's rotation to open the season, but the Braves are also expected to limit their starter's innings in the early going. Hamels is now 36 years old, and while he can still provide decent strikeout numbers, the rest of his profile is clearly in decline. With his injury issues on top of it, there are more intriguing options at the end of mixed league drafts than Hamels.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
