Hamels (triceps) threw three simulated innings Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lefty continues to work his way back from the shoulder and triceps issues that he's dealt with since spring training. He's expected to be activated to make a start at some point next week against the Orioles or Mets, though given that he's only been built up to three innings, he's unlikely to pitch deep enough to earn a win in his first game back.
