Colon's exam goes well; rest will continue

BOSTON - Bartolo Colon, placed on the seven-day disabled list earlier in the week with a hip pointer, was examined by the training staff and by the team’s medical staff before the game.
“The plan is to wait two more days [before clearing him to throw],” said manager Terry Francona, “But he had a good exam.”
Colon is unsure how the injury took place, but told team officials that he had suffered similar ailments twice before in his career. Once, the condition sidelined for Colon for three weeks; another time, he was out for a week.
Francona said that Colon has improved his conditioning since signing with the Sox at the end of February.
“He’s done a pretty good job with that,” the manager said. “We want to get him in the best possible shape he can to be able to repeat his delivery.”
