Braves manager Brian Snitker said on Wednesday that he would not completely rule out the possibility of adding Bartolo Colon back to the rotation when he is ready to be activated, going with a six-man rotation without displacing anyone.
Snit wouldnt rule out the idea of going with a six man rotation when Bartolo returns, meaning Newcomb would remain in the rotation. #Braves

This likely mean Sean Newcomb earned a few more starts thanks to his sterling debut on Saturday, when he hurled 6 1⁄3 innings against the Mets, surrendering just one unearned run (thanks to his own error) on four hits.
