Colon Questionable For Opening Day


Angels manager Mike Scioscia said starter Bartolo Colon (rotator cuff) could be on the mound by mid-March. Whether he'll return in time for Opening Day remains questionable, though.

Colon, 33, recently participated in fielding drills and is scheduled to play long toss again from about 110-120 feet. "As he gets out there about 160-170 feet [playing] long toss and then shortens it up on flat ground and feels his arm speed, he'll be ready to get off a mound," Scioscia said. "But that is probably still about a three-week window before you have to decide. He's making progress."
