Phillies lefthander Cole Hamels, who was forced out Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox, will make his next scheduled start Tuesday in Florida, according to pitching coach Rich Dubee.

Hamels, in his last start, was struck by a line drive in the fourth inning off the bat of slugger Adrian Gonzalez. Hamels was able to record the out and finish off the rest of the inning, but he did not return in the fifth inning.

The team announced that X-rays returned negative and that Hamels suffered only a contusion.

Hamels had a good month of June, finishing with a 1.31 ERA in six starts. Opposing batters hit just .182.
