The Atlanta Braves announced on social media this afternoon that they have placed starting pitcher Bartolo Colon on the disabled list with a strained left oblique. Oh, yeah…a “strained left oblique.”
Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters prior to Tuesday night’s game that Colon was dealing with the oblique injury for a little while and has “been getting treatment.” It’s unknown when exactly Colon started feeling the pain in the oblique, but I’m guessing it started right after his first outing of the 2017 season…can you sense some sarcasm?
Does he have an oblique injury?
