Colon To DL, Chris Smith Called Up

Bartolo Colon is headed to the 15 day disabled list with a bad back. He hurt his back on a swing in last night’s game, the big gut can put a strain on the back when it gets in motion. Relief pitcher Chris Smith was called up from Pawtucket to take Colon’s spot on the roster but no word about the rotation yet. Dice-K could take Colon’s next starting spot, Buchholz could also be called up at a later date to take the start.

Here’s the video of Colon’s disaster at the plate:
