Mets' Bartolo Colon: Start moved up to Saturday

Colon will have his start moved up to Saturday, Marc Carig of Newsday Sports reports.

Analysis:

It was revealed that Seth Lugo had a blister in his last start, so the Mets seem inclined to let his finger heal an extra day. This allows Colon to slide up and square off against John Gant. This doesn't change his outlook all that much considering Williams Perez was the pitcher he would've faced on Sunday, but either way, the 43-year-old is an intriguing play against the dreary Atlanta offense this weekend.
