Hamels (oblique) will make his first rehab start Friday with Double-A Frisco.
Hamels has been sidelined since May 2, but it seems that he's finally ramped up his pitch count enough to get back into game action. The southpaw is expected to throw 65 pitches or four innings in the upcoming outing, and if all goes well, he could return to action as soon as June 26, although more information should come forth once he clears this trial.
