Cole Hamels

Cole Hamels activated for Monday Rangers' start

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels was activated from the 10-day disabled list and is starting against the Cleveland Indians on Monday.

What It Means:

Hamels has been on the DL since the end of May with an oblique strain, but has looked on through his two rehab starts. He's ready to roll on the road today.

Our DFS Heat Map gives Hamels the fourth-worst implied total (5.03 runs) of pitchers on the slate today facing the Cleveland batters. He comes into this matchup with the worst strikeout rate and sixth-worst walk rate among Monday starters, but is starting in the fourth-most pitcher-friendly park today (0.978 park factor).
