Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels (oblique) is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session Sunday since being placed on the disabled list.
Hamels will probably throw a few more bullpen sessions before graduating to live hitters and then a full minor league rehab assignment. He is scheduled to make his return to the rotation some time in July after being placed on the disabled list on May 2 with a right oblique strain.
Hamels owns a 3.03 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 32.2 innings pitched this season. His strikeout rate of 11.5 percent is currently the lowest of his career.
