The New York Yankees placed Bartolo Colon on the disabled list Sunday with a strained right hamstring, the latest blow to an already ailing starting rotation.
Colon pulled up lame while covering first base on a routine grounder in a 4-0 win over the Indians on Saturday. He had an MRI exam after the game and the decision was made to put the resurgent veteran on the disabled list.

The 38-year-old Colon is 5-3 with a 3.10 ERA, helping solidify a rotation that has lost Phil Hughes to a shoulder injury for most of the season. (continue)
