Cole Hamels

Atlanta's Cole Hamels (triceps) 'will likely be unavailable to begin the season'

According to manager Brian Snitker, Atlanta Braves pitcher Cole Hamels is still dealing with left triceps tendinitis.

What It Means:

The Braves are unlikely to have Hamels on their Opening Day roster after the veteran left-hander was shut down last week with triceps tendinitis. Look for Kyle Wright to see some time in Atlanta's rotation.

Wright's season-long projection currently includes a 6.81 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 23 innings pitched.
