Colon headed to the DL

As seen on MVN’s Sox on Deck:
Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe is reporting that Pawtucket starting pitcher Bartolo Colon is to be placed on the minor league Disable List. Amalie writes,

Terry Francona confirmed this afternoon that Bartolo Colon has had some pain in his right oblique. The starter will come to Boston tomorrow to be examined, and has been placed on the disabled list (though the minor league DL is different from the major league one).

The Red Sox have no plans of rushing Colon to the majors. Based on the injury, Colon is likely to make three more starts at Pawtucket.
