Hamels (oblique) threw 21 pitches during a bullpen session Sunday and experienced no issues, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports. "It looked good. ... It looked normal," Rangers pitching coach Doug Brocail said afterward.
It was Hamels' first mound work since he was shut down after his April 26 start due to a strained right oblique. The Rangers will wait and see how Hamels is feeling a couple days after the session before outlining the rest of his throwing program. The veteran left-hander isn't expected to come off the disabled list until shortly before the All-Star break.
