The Texas Rangers announced Tuesday that pitcher Cole Hamels has been scratched from his scheduled start on Thursday because of a sore groin, according to MLB.com. Hamels is unlikely to be placed on the disabled list because of the injury and the team has yet to decide whether he will be skipped in the rotation or simply pushed back a couple of days. “I don’t want to change the dynamic too much,” Hamels said. “There is a way they have approached pitchers that has allowed them to be the best they can. When you are on a roll, you definitely want to be on a schedule. At the same time, I haven’t proven anything yet.” The Rangers' options include pushing Martin Perez up a day to pitch Thursday on normal rest, or promoting Chi Chi Gonzalez from the minor leagues to make a spot start.
