Mets' Bartolo Colon: On track to start Sunday

Colon (thumb) has left the team to attend his son's graduation but remains on track to start Sunday against the Braves, James Wagner of the New York Times reports.

Analysis:

A bruised right thumb, the result of being hit by a line drive, forced Colon off the hill Tuesday after just four pitches. However, it seems the thumb has not presented any issues in subsequent side sessions as Colon is still in line for a favorable matchup at Turner Field on Sunday. Colon tossed eight innings of shutout ball against the Braves back in May.
