Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels was able to get through his first bullpen session Wednesday, according to MLB.com.

Hamels has been dealing with a shoulder injury during camp, and could open the season on the disabled list. Hamels was happy with his performance Wednesday. "It was good," Hamels said. "Better than expected, which is huge. It didn’t feel as foreign, getting off the mound after such a long time. But everything felt good." 

Hamels said he needs to work on his pitches and locations now. It's just a matter of getting back on track. Hamels is still hoping he can get some reps during spring training. 

Last season, he posted a 3.60 ERA in 220 innings.
