Mets' Bartolo Colon: Starting Tuesday

Colon will start Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Analysis:

Colon was initially slated to get the ball Wednesday -- also against the Royals -- but the Mets are electing to move the 43-year-old forward by a day and have Noah Syndergaard move back to Wednesday. He's coming off one of his best outings of the season, striking out a season-high eight batters while allowing just two runs over 7.2 innings in a winning effort against the Pirates.
