Colon Banged Up

Last year's AL Cy Young award winner, Bartolo Colon showed swelling caused by scarring from the strain he suffered last October. The Angels optimisticly believe that the hurler will only miss two starts. Colon will be eligible to come off the DL on May 1. "The early signs say that he probably will be able to come back then; that's what it looks like," GM Bill Stoneman said. "We're certainly hopeful of that. You don't even know for sure. The information I've gotten, to this point, I view as positive. There's nothing new in there and nothing that's torn." Hector Carrasco replaces Colon's in the starting rotation
