Getty Images Carlos Almanzar, who works for ESPN Radio in Santo Domingo, reports that Bartolo Colon was taken to the hospital after getting hit in the mouth with a liner while pitching in the Dominican Republic today.
Colon, who finished the major league season suspended after a positive PED test, was making his second start for Aguilas Cibaenas on Sunday. He allowed three runs in five innings his first time out.
Colon was 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA for the A’s before being suspended this year. He’ll officially become a free agent after the World Series.

Whew. For a minute there I though Colon was hit by a cruise ship, and it was going to be the Titanic all over again.

Ya hate to hear that, hope the injury isn’t too severe.
I heard the injury wouldn’t have been nearly as devastating had he not tried to eat the liner as it was heading directly for his mouth.
