According to the Boston Herald, Bartolo Colon is scheduled to make his spring debut for the Red Sox on Saturday March 15th. Colon, who had signed a minor-league deal with Boston, threw 41 “effortless” pitches in his second bullpen session yesterday. Colon says his arm feels very strong.

He will most likely begin the season at Triple-A Pawtucket. If all goes well, he’ll be “on call” and ready should he be needed at the major league level.
