Career
Cleveland Indians
After graduating from the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and High School, the Indians selected Colón in the 12th round of the 2009 MLB draft.[1] He missed the 2010 season due to injury. He spent the next three seasons pitching for the Lake County Captains of the Class A Midwest League and the Carolina Mudcats of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League. He reached the Akron RubberDucks of the Class AA Eastern League in 2014.[2]
In 2015, the Indians converted Colón from a starting pitcher into a relief pitcher.[3] He spent the 2015 season with Akron and the Columbus Clippers of the Class AAA International League. A minor league free agent after the 2015 season, the Indians resigned Colón with a non-roster invitation to spring training in 2016.[4] That offseason, Minor League Baseball announced Colón failed a test for a "drug of abuse" for the second time, and would be suspended for the first 50 games of the 2016 season.[5]
The Indians purchased Colón's contract and added him to the 40-man roster on July 2, 2016. The Indians promoted Colón to the major leagues on July 7.[6]
On July 1, 2017, Colón was suspended for the remainder of the 2017 season after testing positive for a banned substance.[7] The Indians designated Colón for assignment on October 2, 2017 and outrighted him to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers on October 6, 2017. He elected free agency on November 6, 2017.
St. Louis Cardinals
On February 19, 2018, Colón signed a minor league deal with the St. Louis Cardinals. [8] He was released on March 28, 2018.
Bravos de León
