/*Hamels*/, the World Series MVP last fall, went 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five postseason starts in October. The 25-year-old left-hander made his first Grapefruit League start Wednesday.
He pitched in an intra-squad game Sunday and didn't report any pain in four innings of work. Hamels said he feels tightness in his elbow between innings and after he's finished pitching for the day.
"I was able to throw yesterday," Hamels said. "It's just been that kind of mild discomfort, something I don't want to have to deal with during the season. So if we can figure it out and somehow lessen the inflammation and the discomfort, I'll be able to throw and be productive."
Hamels has a history of injuries. Last season he pitched 262 1/3 innings, marking the first season in his eight-year professional career that he avoided the disabled list.
