Colon Update

Bartolo Colon, who is suffering from a strained oblique muscle, was supposed to have been examined this morning at Fenway Park, but that exam has been pushed off for a day because of Opening Day hoopla at the ballpark, said manager Terry Francona a few minutes ago.

"Today is kind of a crazy day so it makes sense," said Francona of pushing the examination date back a day.

Francona said Colon has had similar problems with his oblique twice in the past and that the Sox won't allow the right-hander, who made a strong debut for Pawtucket last week, to start throwing again until he's "completely pain free."
