September 24, 2006 Bartolo Colon has been rehabbing his partially torn rotator cuff in Arizona and will return to California in the coming days to be examined by team orthopedist Lewis Yocum, according to the AP. The team will determine the progress of Colon, who isn't expected to throw until December. "It's the next step, but it's down the road," manager Mike Scioscia said of Colon throwing. "That would be the first major step in progress. From there to getting back on the mound in a major league game, there are a lot of steps. We'll know more on his schedule depending how he moves and where his strength is." |
|
August 12, 2006 Bartolo Colon believes that he will be healthy in time for spring training in 2007. "I feel confident that everything is going to be fine," said Colon, who has a partial tear in his right rotator cuff. "There's no magic wand to say you're going to be cured in so much time. But I think the most important thing is up to me, to continue to work hard and do what I need to do. It's something I've never gone through before, but I'm not really fearful or scared about the time that it's going to take. I know that I'm going to work hard to make it go right." |
|
August 8, 2006 The LA Times reports that it may be three months before Bartolo Colon is ready to start throwing again and it could take six months before he regains the velocity on his fastball. "Every case is different, every tear is different, and every pitching style is different, but because Bart is a power pitcher, it might take a little longer," said Chris Correnti, a former Boston Red Sox athletic trainer. However, Colon is expected to be at full strength for the 2007 season. |
|
August 4, 2006 An MRI on Bartolo Colon revealed that the 2005 Cy Young winner has a partial tear in his rotator cuff, according to the AP. The injury will require an aggressive rehab program, and Colon probably won't pitch again this year. Manager Mike Scioscia said "I would assume it's going to be lengthy. And with about seven weeks left in the season, it would seem doubtful that he's going to return." |
|
August 3, 2006 Bartolo Colon is undergoing therapy for tendinitis in his right triceps and will be evaluated over the weekend, according to the AP. Colon has been out since July 26 with the injury. |

|
July 30, 2006 As expected, the Angels placed Bartolo Colon on the DL with tendinitis in his right triceps, according to the AP. It's uncertain who will start in place of Colon on Tuesday.

|

May 19, 2006 Bartolo Colon has been experiencing a "dead arm," which has slowed his return from the disabled list, according to the LA Times. The Angels were hoping that Colon would be able to throw a simulated game Thursday and begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, but that timetable has been pushed back. He will try to throw in the bullpen today. "I wouldn't call it a setback; I would say there wasn't forward progress with his last bullpen," pitching coach Bud Black said. "He wasn't feeling any better, and to move forward, there has to be a progression. We've pushed him pretty hard the last two weeks. He was moving steady. He just stalled." |

I had a little fear in spring training. I'm more confident now." |
|
May 8, 2006 Bartolo Colon threw long toss on Monday and reported feeling much better, according to the AP. Colon is scheduled to throw long toss again on Tuesday.

"Right now, he's still crawling through the process." |

April 26, 2006 Initial estimates that Bartolo Colon could return from his inflamed shoulder when eligible on Monday no longer appear realistic, according to the LA Times.

It could easily be another couple of weeks or more before he's back with the Angels. |

There's nothing different in his daily routine from spring training to now." However, Colon has admitted that he's hesitant to really let loose on the mound after suffering a slight shoulder tear late last year. |
