Veteran pitcher Bartolo Colon's return to the White Sox' rotation has hit a speed bump.
General manager Ken Williams revealed Wednesday that Colon underwent surgery in the fall to remove bone chips from his right elbow, a procedure that will keep the big right-hander off the mound when the Sox open spring training Feb. 15 in Glendale, Ariz.
''We'll bring him along in the second half of spring training,'' Williams said.
The A's did not receive such good news about 22-year-old right-hander Fautino De Los Santos. He had elbow-ligament replacement surgery this week. He hasn't pitched since April 24 at Class A Stockton.
