Bartolo Colon lifted from Twins' start Tuesday due to illness

Minnesota Twins pitcher Bartolo Colon left his start Tuesday night against the Cleveland Indians because of an illness.

What It Means:

Colon was replaced by Tyler Duffey in the bottom of the second inning after allowing two runs on three hits in the bottom of the first. Outside of a surprise appearance in the postseason, this may have been the last major league outing for the 44-year-old right-hander.

Colon posted a 6.72 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 13.6 strikeout percentage across 136 2/3 innings this season while going 6-14 across 27 combined starts for the Twins and Atlanta Braves.
