Colon, who is coming back from offseason elbow surgery, allowed three hits and no runs. He struck out four without walking a batter in three innings, and threw 35 of his 44 pitches for strikes.
“Colon threw the ball well,” Guillen said. “I feel pretty good with what I see. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see how he feels. The last time he pitched, he was stiff.
“We got to be patient. If Colon is not ready to start the season, we’ll have Plan B.”
If Colon and Contreras aren’t ready to go at the season’s start, Plan B—at least for one rotation spot—would appear to be Clayton Richard, who has been impressive this spring.
