The Texas Rangers dusted off Bartolo Colon for the eighth inning Wednesday, allowing the veteran right-hander to pitch for the first time since being moved to the bullpen Sept. 8.
It wasn’t exactly vintage Colon but what has come to be expected — 87 mph heaters, a long home run, and a double-play grounder.
That could be the last time that Rangers fans see Colon, the beloved veteran who earlier in the second half became the all-time wins leaders for a pitcher from Latin America (247).
Just guessing, but here’s betting he makes an appearance next week at Angel Stadium.
