Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The Boston Red Sox placed starting pitcher Bartolo Colon on the suspended list on Friday, after he returned to the Dominican Republic and opted to stay there. Colon went home to tend to a personal matter and, rather than go back to Boston to likely serve as a reliever or backup starter, decided to stay in his native country. Because of the transaction, the Red Sox don't have to pay Colon for the remainder of the season. Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner, ma
