Colon: First Time Facing Live Hitters

Bartolo Colon, threw fastballs against hitters on Sunday for the first time in eight months. In his ongoing recovery from a rotator cuff tear that limited him to 10 starts last year, Colon is under orders to take slow, easy steps. This is what you do with 33-year-old pitchers who have logged 1,876 Major League innings. The 2005 American League Cy Young Award winner, Colon has done everything the club has asked and is on schedule to rejoin the starting rotation early in the season (target is late April). Colon said he was "very happy" with how the ball felt coming out of his hand and that his command was "very good." He got the ball inside but didn't break any bats.
