FORT MYERS, Fla. — Boston Red Sox right-hander Bartolo Colon pitched his second impressive bullpen session and is on schedule to make his first start March 15.
“The expectation was there,” Boston pitching coach John Farrell said after watching Colon throw 41 pitches, “but I think initially and, again, this is very premature, he’s on the positive side of those expectations.”
Colon is competing for the vacancy in the rotation created by Curt Schilling’s shoulder injury, which is expected to sideline him for at least half the season.
