Mets' Bartolo Colon: Expected to make next start

The swelling in Colon's thumb has subsided, and the Mets expect him to make his next scheduled start Sunday, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports.

Analysis:

Colon was forced from his previous start Tuesday after just four pitches after taking a comebacker off his thumb, but X-rays taken after the game came back negative, and a day later it appears he is only dealing with a minor setback. The Mets will provide an update on Colon's status if anything changes, but as of now he is next set to take the ball Sunday.
