Jason Hammel (knee) is tentatively scheduled to start on Monday or Tuesday. The good news is that he'll avoid the 15-day disabled list. The 29-year-old right-hander is off to a rocking start this season, with a stellar 4-1 record, 2.09 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 38/11 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings this year. He's been one of baseball's most surprising players.
