| Player Notes |
| November 14, 2007 They recently just moved Brett Myers back to the rotation, but the Phillies are still looking for another starter. Bartolo Colon is one guy that interests them. Former Phillie Randy Wolf is another. "We had conversations about both players," assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Both Colon and Wolf are tremendous injury risks, but they also have more upside than most of the other available free agents. |
| October 2, 2007 Bartolo Colon (elbow) is not on the ALDS roster for the Angels. Dustin Moseley got the nod in his place. |
| September 29, 2007 Nothing is set in stone, but the Angels are expected to use Bartolo Colon out of the bullpen in the playoffs - at least to begin with. "When you have a talent like Bartolo, you want him on your staff in some capacity," manager Mike Scioscia said in the AP. "We've looked at a couple scenarios, but we're not going to rule out Bart starting, but we're looking at the scenario of him helping us out of the pen." |
| September 19, 2007 Bartolo Colon will not be able to pitch Wednesday due to his sore back, the AP reports. He's hoping to be able to pitch in the final week. |
| September 17, 2007 Manager Mike Scioscia has yet to decide whether Bartolo Colon or Ervin Santana will get the start on Wednesday, according to the LA Times. They will both throw bullpen sessions today. At this point, though, it shouldn't really matter who starts for fantasy purposes, because both have to be considered risky options. |
| September 12, 2007 Bartolo Colon will make his first start since returning from the DL on Friday against the White Sox, according to the LA Times. He'll take the rotation spot of Ervin Santana, who will be moved to the bullpen. "Ervin has shown he can be valuable in the bullpen, and if Bart can throw the ball with any consistency down the stretch, it will give us a lift," Scioscia said. "If Bart has issues with health or execution or performance, Ervin is not too far away from going back into the rotation. It's a better way to go right now." Assuming Colon pitches effectively over the next couple of weeks, he should be a part of the Angels' postseason rotation. |
| September 9, 2007 The Angels activated Bartolo Colon from the disabled list on Sunday. While it's another step towards a return from his elbow injury, the Angels have yet to schedule a date for his next start. It should come soon, but we'll have to wait for manager Mike Scioscia to make an announcement. |
| September 9, 2007 Bartolo Colon is about ready to return to the rotation. He's currently on target to start next Sunday against the Royals, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. However, if the Indians have a spot in the postseason locked up by then, they may hold off on putting Colon back on the mound. He's been out with an elbow injury. |
| September 1, 2007 Bartolo Colon allowed three runs over five innings during Thursday's rehab start, but he isn't ready to come off the disabled list. "He pitched well," manager Mike Scioscia told the LA Times. "His velocity was good, and he carried through to almost 70 pitches." Colon is slated to toss 85-90 pitches in his next rehab start on Tuesday, as he continues his recovery from an elbow injury. |
| August 29, 2007 Bartolo Colon threw a bullpen session Tuesday and will make a rehab start at Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday the AP reports. He's been on the DL since July 24 with right elbow irritation. |
| August 23, 2007 Bartolo Colon will begin a rehab assignment on Saturday, according to the LA Times. He will need three or four rehab starts before being activated. Colon has been out since July 24 because of an elbow irritation. |
| August 22, 2007 Bartolo Colon, recovering from an elbow injury, will begin a rehab assignment this weekend, according to the LA Times. The Angels have no intention of using him as a reliever when he's able to return, like they did with Kelvim Escobar in 2005. "I don't think that's as much of an option as it was with Kelvim," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "Kelvim had experience as a reliever, and we had a big need in the bullpen. Let's get Bart healthy first, and we'll see." The best estimate has Colon returning from the DL in early September. |
| August 22, 2007 Bartolo Colon threw 75 pitches Tuesday afternoon, 45 of them in a simulated game, as he continued to work his way back from an elbow problem, the AP reports. Manager Mike Scioscia said Colon threw with good velocity and came out of the work OK. A rehab assignment could follow early next week. |
| August 21, 2007 Bartolo Colon, on the DL because of an elbow irritation, will throw the first of at least two simulated games today, according to the LA Times. Barring a setback, the right-hander will probably begin a rehab assignment early next week. Even when Colon returns, though, he'll remain a risky investment in fantasy. |
| August 19, 2007 Bartolo Colon (elbow) threw a bullpen session Saturday and "the ball came out of his hand great," manager Mike Scioscia told the AP. He said Colon would throw "probably no more than 45 pitches" during a simulated game Tuesday. |
| August 17, 2007 Bartolo Colon, on the DL with an elbow injury, will pitch a simulated game Saturday and then probably start a rehabilitation assignment, according to the LA Times. If Colon does not return by the Aug. 31 deadline for postseason eligibility, the Angels still could include him on a playoff roster by substituting him for a pitcher on the disabled list. |
| August 16, 2007 Bartolo Colon (elbow) threw 46 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday and reported no problems, the AP reports. "He looked very good," pitching coach Mike Butcher said. Colon, who threw only fastballs and changeups, will throw 60 pitches in his next bullpen session. The Angels want Colon to pitch at least seven innings in a minor league start before returning to the rotation. |
| August 15, 2007 Bartolo Colon (elbow) will throw a bullpen session in Toronto Wednesday and if all goes well, he could be ready for a minor league rehabilitation assignment soon, the AP reports. |
| August 13, 2007 After throwing 15 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, Bartolo Colon followed that up with 30 pitches on Sunday. Pitching coach Mike Butcher said Colon "felt real good," according to the LA Times. His next step will be a 45-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, which could lead to a rehab assignment this weekend. It's beginning to look like Colon might actually make it back from his elbow injury within a few weeks. |
| August 11, 2007 Bartolo Colon tossed 15 fastballs in a bullpen session on Friday. "The ball came out of his hand good; he finished his pitches well," pitching coach Mike Butcher said, according to the LA Times. "He's looking to get comfortable, to get used to the slope, to build up his endurance. I feel like he's going to be back this year. It just depends on how he gets through all the hoops he has to jump through." It seems like the odds are stacked against Colon, considering how the last year has gone for him, but it is possible he could return from his ailing elbow later this month. |
| August 9, 2007 Bartolo Colon has progressed enough in his long-toss sessions that he will begin to throw lightly in the bullpen, according to the LA Times. Colon, who has been out since July 24 with elbow irritation, will need two or three bullpen workouts before being considered for a rehab assignment. |
| August 8, 2007 Bartolo Colon plans to throw off a mound Friday for the first time since going on the DL with a sore elbow. "It'll be more of a touch-and-feel thing, just to see how the ball comes out of his hand," manager Mike Scioscia said, according to the AP. "He still needs to step up with two or three bullpen sessions and test his arm aggressively with all of his pitches. If he turns the next one loose, full-gorilla, there's a possibility that he's ready for a (rehab) game, but we'll take it one step at a time." We'll have to wait to see how his mound session goes before even considering a timetable for his return to action. |
| August 1, 2007 Bartolo Colon (elbow) threw on flat ground Tuesday for the first time since he went on the DL July 24, the AP reports. Mike Scioscia said he is not sure when his starter will progress to throwing off a mound. "His timetable will materialize at his own pace . . . he's got to get his arm re-acclimated," Scioscia said. Dustin Moseley will make his second consecutive fill-in start on Friday at Oakland. |
| July 25, 2007 Bartolo Colon went on the 15-day DL with a sore right elbow Tuesday, the AP reports. He had left Monday night's game after pitching the first inning against Oakland, giving up four runs. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after Tuesday's game that there was a "silver lining" regarding Colon's injury, which was diagnosed as an impingement in his elbow. "It's some irritation in there. It's not like it's a ligament or something like that," Scioscia said. |
| July 23, 2007 Bartolo Colon left Monday night's game against Oakland with a sore right elbow after giving up four runs in the first inning, according to the AP. He's scheduled to have his elbow examined Tuesday. Colon threw 33 pitches in the first inning, giving up four hits, with one walk and one strikeout. It was the only the fourth time in his career he's pitched one inning or less. |
| June 21, 2007 If John Lackey, who is dealing with shoulder issues, is unable to make his start on Sunday, Bartolo Colon will start in his place, according to the LA Times. As it stands right now, Colon will start on Monday on five days' rest. |
| June 16, 2007 Bartolo Colon has struggled since returning from his torn rotator cuff in late April; in his past four starts, he's 1-2 with a 9.15 ERA. However, pitching coach Mike Butcher said Colon's problems stem from pitch location, not his shoulder, according to the LA Times. He routinely hit 94 mph with his fastball on Thursday, which seems to support the notion that Colon's shoulder is OK. Let's hope that's the case, and that Colon will turn things around on his own soon. |
| June 7, 2007 Bartolo Colon will not have to be pushed back again. Colon completed a bullpen workout Tuesday, and manager Mike Scioscia said the right-hander will make his next scheduled start on Friday, according to the LA Times. Colon had his previous start skipped due to triceps tendinitis. |
| June 5, 2007 Bartolo Colon could have his next scheduled start pushed back from Friday to Sunday. Colon was skipped in his last start due to triceps tendinitis, and he may not be recovered enough to go on Friday, according to the LA Times. If Colon is bumped back to Sunday, Ervin Santana and Jered Weaver could pitch Friday and Saturday. |
| May 31, 2007 Bartolo Colon's next start was pushed back to June 8 at St. Louis, the AP reports. Colon began experiencing tightness in his triceps early this month, and has allowed 15 runs in 10 2/3 innings over his last two starts. He is taking medication for the problem. His regular turn on Sunday against Baltimore will be taken by either Joe Saunders, Dustin Moseley or Hector Carrasco. |
| May 30, 2007 Bartolo Colon appears to be headed to the DL. Colon admitted that the triceps tightness that forced him out of his May 6 start flared up and bothered him throughout his start on Monday. If Colon does in fact need a DL stint, the Angels probably would either recall Joe Saunders from Triple-A Salt Lake or move reliever Dustin Moseley back into the rotation, according to the LA Times. |
| May 29, 2007 Bartolo Colon admitted that the triceps tightness that forced him out of his May 6 start flared up and bothered him throughout his start on Monday. Colon was roughed up for nine runs (seven earned) on 11 hits over 6 1/3 innings. "It's not pain, but it doesn't allow me to get as loose as I want to get," Colon said to the LA Times through an interpreter. "I don't want it to affect the way I pitch. I don't want it to carry through the rest of the season." Manager Mike Scioscia said that the team was "going to take a look at" Colon's arm, which likely means an MRI. It's not clear at this point if Colon will have to miss any starts. He's scheduled to pitch Saturday against Baltimore. |
| May 11, 2007 Bartolo Colon, recovering from a strained triceps muscle, played catch and remains on schedule to make his next start Saturday against Texas, according to the LA Times. He left his last start in the eighth inning with the injury. |
| May 9, 2007 Bartolo Colon won't throw again until Thursday, and it's not clear yet if he'll make his scheduled start Saturday, the AP reports. He's dealing with a mild triceps strain. "We'll know one way or the other by Friday," manager Mike Scioscia said. |
| May 7, 2007 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday that Bartolo Colon wasn't expected to need an MRI after the pitcher was forced to leave his start in the eighth inning with a mild triceps strain in his right arm, according to the LA Times. "I felt it on and off throughout the game, but on that last pitch I threw, it tightened up a lot," Colon said through an interpreter. "But I'm not worried, because I've had this in the past and have been able to pitch with it. God willing, I will be able to make my next start." At this point, he's day-to-day. |
| May 6, 2007 Bartolo Colon left his start on Sunday in the eighth inning with a mild triceps strain in his right arm, according to the Sports Network. He's listed as day-to-day. Colon pitched well prior to his departure, allowing two runs on five hits in seven innings. |
| April 26, 2007 Bartolo Colon, who was considered a game-time decision on Thursday due to a sprained ankle, didn't look to be hindered at all against Tampa Bay, allowing just two runs on four hits in seven innings of work. He also struck out 11, which was his highest total since June 4, 2005, when he also whiffed 11. Colon is now 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his two starts this season. |
| April 26, 2007 Bartolo Colon is considered a game-day decision for his scheduled start Thursday against Tampa Bay, the Angels official site reports. If the Angels decide to make a last-second change, Dustin Moseley will get the call. Colon is dealing with a sore ankle. "As of now, (Colon) is scheduled to pitch," Mike Scoscia said. |
| April 25, 2007 The Angels will decide today whether Bartolo Colon will start against Tampa Bay Thursday, the Los Angeles Times reports. Colon twisted his ankle covering first base in his first start Saturday. He played catch and threw lightly off the mound Tuesday; if he can't go, right-hander Dustin Moseley will start. |
| April 24, 2007 Bartolo Colon, who tweaked his left ankle covering first base Saturday in his first start off the DL, isn't a sure thing for Thursday against Tampa Bay, according to the AP Manager Mike Scioscia is holding back Dustin Moseley from any relief assignments until then, just in case he has to start again. |
| April 21, 2007 The Angels activated Bartolo Colon from the 15-day disabled list so that he could make his season debut against the Mariners on Saturday. He allowed just one run on seven hits and had ones strikeout in seven innings. He threw 77 pitches, 55 for strikes. |
| April 18, 2007 Bartolo Colon will make his season debut on Saturday at Seattle, the AP reports. He's coming back from a torn rotator cuff. |
| April 15, 2007 Bartolo Colon, recovering from a torn rotator cuff, threw seven scoreless innings for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, allowing three hits and striking out three, according to the AP. He threw 95 pitches, 68 for strikes, and he hit 96 mph with his fastball in the first inning. Colon is slated to come off the DL and start for the Angels on Friday against Seattle. |
| April 11, 2007 Bartolo Colon allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and no walks over 5 2/3 innings for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday, according to the LA Times. He'll work another rehab game on Sunday and could return from his partially torn rotator cuff as soon as April 20 or 25. |
| April 8, 2007 Bartolo Colon is scheduled to make at least two more rehab starts, with the last one being on April 15, and he could join the Angels rotation as soon as April 20, according to the LA Times. Colon is coming back from a partial tear in his rotator cuff. |
| April 5, 2007 Bartolo Colon pitched four scoreless innings for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday night while working his way back from a torn rotator cuff that sidelined him for the final two months of last season. He threw 61 pitches, 41 for strikes, and allowed a hit and a walk while striking out five. He is scheduled to pitch again for them on Tuesday, this time with a 75-pitch limit, before making what he and the Angels hope will be a final rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on April 15 in Las Vegas. |
| April 1, 2007 Bartolo Colon was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, the Los Angeles Times reports. According to the paper, he could be back in the team's rotation by the end of April. |
| March 28, 2007 Bartolo Colon threw 29 pitches in a minor-league start Tuesday, hitting 94 mph on the radar gun, the Angels official site reports. Colon gave up three hits and two runs (one earned) over his two innings, along with two strikeouts. He's coming back slowly from a rotator cuff tear. "Bart had great velocity," Mike Scoscia said. "He got a little bit fatigued, but the big thing with Bart's game is hitting his spots." |
| March 21, 2007 Bartolo Colon will mix in breaking balls for the first time during a 45-pitch batting-practice session Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reports. Colon is rehabilitating his rotator-cuff tear. |
| March 18, 2007 Bartolo Colon threw 30 pitches of batting practice Sunday, his first time facing live hitters this spring, according to the AP. "Even though I'm anxious, the one thing I want to do is be ready to pitch and to not take a step back," said Colon, who is recovering from a partial tear in his rotator cuff. |

| March 10, 2007 Bartolo Colon took another step in his rehab from a rotator cuff tear, throwing 35 pitches in his second bullpen session on Friday, according to the Angels official site. "Bart is just really bringing it now," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We want to make sure he goes through the stages he needs. He's excited, and we're excited. The main thing is that he builds stamina and doesn't have any setbacks." |
| March 6, 2007 Bartolo Colon threw off a mound Tuesday for the first time this spring and felt well, according to the AP. "I felt very good and comfortable with how everything went and I look forward to my next one," Colon said.

| March 5, 2007 Bartolo Colon is scheduled to throw off a mound on Tuesday for the first time this spring, according to the AP. Colon is recovering from a tear in his right rotator cuff and is not expected to be ready for the start of the season. |
| March 1, 2007 Manager Mike Scioscia has been encouraged enough by Bartolo Colon's rehab from a torn rotator cuff, that he believes the pitcher will "be on a mound possibly by the end of spring training," according to the LA Times. Colon likely will remain at extended spring training when the team breaks camp and probably won't pitch for the Angels until at least sometime in May. |
| February 28, 2007 Bartolo Colon, who is recovering from a torn rotator cuff, increased his long-toss distance from 120 feet to 130 feet Tuesday, according to the LA Times. He isn't expected to return until at least May. |
| February 26, 2007 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday that it's "unlikely" that Bartolo Colon will take part in a Cactus League game, according to the LA Times. That means he likely won't return from his torn rotator cuff until at least late May. "Unless there are setbacks, we'll see him off a mound before spring training is over," Scioscia said. "We're not holding him back. Bart knows this is a significant injury and understands the progression of rehab. He's moved probably as aggressively as you can for a player and has held up well." |
| February 23, 2007 Bartolo Colon had his second straight day of long-toss Thursday, the Los Angeles Times reports. Colon is coming back from a torn rotator cuff. |
| February 11, 2007 Although Bartolo Colon said he is aiming to be ready for the start of the seasons, the Angels intend to take things slowly with the pitcher's return from a torn rotator cuff, according to the LA Times. "Our expectations are that he will not be ready for the start of the season," manager Mike Scioscia said. "If he is, it will be a pleasant surprise." |
| January 11, 2007 Having completed the first two phases of his rehab from a torn rotator cuff, Bartolo Colon is now slated to begin throwing in Arizona this week, according to the LA Times. However, at this point, it's not clear whether he will be ready for the start of spring training. |
