The Phillies have confirmed that ace starter and primary trade bait Cole Hamels is ready to pitch Wednesday against the host Yankees, per the News Journal.
A hamstring issue prevented Hamels from making his last start Friday.
Hamels, who was fine in a bullpen session Sunday, returns to action with seven quality starts over his last eight outings. He rebounded from his lone exception on June 14 to put together his finest performance of the year. Hamels shut out Pittsburgh over seven innings and fanned a season-high 12.
