Colon Headed Back to the Bronx

post from Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog on 28 June 2011 11:01:21 PM. © Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog

From Chad Jennings:

Bartolo Colon is on his way back to New York and will be evaluated by the Yankees tomorrow. After a four-inning simulated game on Monday, the Yankees believe there?s a chance Colon could be ready to pitch this weekend against the Mets.

?That?s what we have to evaluate,? Joe Girardi said. ?Do we feel that he is ready? We?ll get a chance to look at him tomorrow and make that decision.?

...

So why would Phil Hughes need a series of rehab starts, but Colon would need nothing more than a simulated game?

?He?s really only missed two starts,? Girardi said. ?It?s not abnormal to skip a pitcher a start and then for him to come back and make the next start. You see that happen all the time, where a guy might pitch on 10 days rest. He did somewhat make a rehab start yesterday: 60 pitches, four innings for Bartolo. He said he felt great, and he could have went more. I believe him, because he was built up. I don?t think missing the two starts was really that much, because he was playing long-toss in that time and keeping his arm in shape. The concern for me is not his arm, it?s making sure his leg is healed. That, we?ll check out.?
