Hamels' next start was moved up to Tuesday against the Astros, meaning he will be in line for two starts next week.
His turn in the rotation would have come up on Wednesday, but with the off day Monday, the Rangers opted to move him up in the rotation in an effort to maximize the number of appearances they can get from him this season. He's a relative must start regardless of how many starts he is on tap for each week, but now on two starts he could swing some head-to-head matchups.
