Yankees' Bartolo Colon pitching through sprained foot tendon

New York Mets starting pitcher Bartolo Colon suffered a sprained tendon in his right foot two weeks ago while running the bases.

What It Means:

This likely contributed to a brutal Monday outing that saw Colon get tagged for seven runs over just 2 1/3 innings in a loss to the Miami Marlins. It was the worst start of the season for Colon, but the Mets are hopeful he can work through the foot injury.

Colon's ERA leaped from 3.12 to 3.42 on Monday, while his 4.22 xFIP is now the highest since his 2009 campaign with the Chicago White Sox. He owns a 1.22 WHIP and 15.8 strikeout percentage across 186 2/3 innings of work this season.
