Time is running out for Cole Hamels to be ready for opening day.
The Braves southpaw didn’t throw his scheduled side session Saturday due to triceps tendinitis, according to manager Brian Snitker. Hamels has been working his way back from shoulder discomfort that prevented him from pitching in spring training.
“I think we’re probably a week away from seeing where things are,” Snitker said. “He’s day to day now as far as when he gets back on the mound. His shoulder feels great. He said he’s going through normal things he has before in spring training. We’re probably a week away from seeing where he’s actually going to be when this thing starts.
