Colon (4-9) shut the Brewers out over seven innings Wednesday, allowing just five hits and a walk while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Fresh off becoming the oldest American League pitcher to notch a complete-game win since Nolan Ryan in the early '90s, Colon's now delivered his first scoreless outing of 2017. After going 2-8 with an 8.14 ERA for the Braves before being released, he's now 2-1 with a 4.02 ERA over six starts for Minnesota. The 44-year-old is nearly at the end of a long, sometimes-illustrious career, but he's showing that he still has enough in the tank to deliver the occasional surprisingly effective outing.

Colon threw a complete game for his first victory with the Twins, giving up four runs and nine hits in Friday's win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

At 44 years and 72 days old, Colon is the oldest A.L. player to toss a complete game and win since Nolan Ryan on July 4, 1992 at age 45 years and 155 days. Colon has thrown two consecutive quality starts.

Colon limited Oakland to three runs on eight hits with one walk and one strikeout over 6.1 innings in Sunday's no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

Just six days after deciding not to retire following a no-decision against the Dodgers, Colon was back on the mound and tossing his first quality start since April 16. While the 44-year-old veteran makes hitters earn it with pinpoint control, a lack of velocity has deteriorated his K/9 down to 5.51. He's unlikely to notch his second consecutive quality start Friday against the Rangers after failing to pick up any in his previous 12 outings.

Colon will remain in the Twins' rotation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There were some recent reports suggesting Colon was considering retirement, but he told Bollinger that he's not thinking about hanging up his cleats just yet. While the 44-year-old hasn't been able to find the same magic this year that he enjoyed the past several seasons with the Mets, he's been better than the 8.00 ERA would indicate, and there aren't many ready alternatives to threaten his role with Minnesota.

Colon allowed three runs on eight hits with no walks and two strikeouts over five innings in Monday's no-decision against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

If Colon does indeed decide to retire after this start, it's fitting that the 44-year-old veteran didn't walk a single batter in this outing. His BB/9 is at 2.50 after finishing no higher than 1.50 in any of the previous five seasons, but the main culprit behind Colon's struggles this year has been his inability to stay away from hard contact. All but two of his 15 opponents this season have managed at least seven hits, which is why his ERA sits at 8.00 following this effort. With two days off on Minnesota's schedule in the next week, it's unclear when the struggling righty would next slot in should he choose to continue his career.

Colon has been considering retirement and could make a decision following his scheduled start against the Dodgers on Tuesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Colon took the loss during his first start with the Twins on Wednesday, giving up four runs on eight hits over the course of four innings against the Yankees. The 44-year-old was signed by the Twins earlier this month after being released by Atlanta, and is expected to start against the hottest team in the majors during his upcoming appearance on the mound. Colon has struggled in nearly every facet of the game this season after providing a quality season's worth of starts (33) for the Mets in 2016, posting an 8.19 ERA with a 1.79 WHIP over the course of 67 innings this year. If Colon continues to get rocked and fails to deliver a respectable start in Los Angeles next week, he could decide to end his career before the Twins pull the plug on this experiment.

Colon gave up four runs over four innings on eight hits while striking out three in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees in his Twins debut.

EDGE Analysis

Colon was pitching relatively well before giving up three hits and two runs in the fifth inning. His velocity reached the high 80s and he had good command on his fastball, which should get him another start or two in Minnesota's rotation. He looked improved from his earlier stint in Atlanta, but he faces a tough test again in his next start against the Dodgers.

Colon's contract was selected from Triple-A Rochester prior to Tuesday's start against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

He gave up four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five in 3.2 innings in his lone rehab start for Rochester, so it's hard to get excited about a guy who washed out of the National League earlier this season. Look for him to eat innings for the Twins, and potentially lose his rotation spot in short order if he doesn't produce.

Colon will start against the Yankees on Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Colon struggled during his outing Thursday with Triple-A Rochester, allowing four earned runs off four hits and a pair of walks in three innings, the Twins saw enough from their newly-acquired pitcher to give him a start next week. The 44-year-old will likely be limited to about 90 pitches, but is set to make his first start in the majors since late June while he was a member of the Braves.

Colon gave up four runs over three innings with five strikeouts and two walks Thursday for Triple-A Rochester. "I felt fine. I had to take a long trip last night, so I was a little tired," he told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

Colon's start was delayed by a 1 hour, 41 minute rain delay. It wasn't a strong outing, but still may be enough for him to be called up to join the Minnesota rotation July 18 against the Yankees.
