Chicago White Sox pitcher Bartolo Colon is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Problem is, the White Sox don't know where he is.

"I know where he is supposed to be right now. He's supposed to be in Charlotte, preparing to start Thursday," White Sox GM Ken Williams said Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Efforts to contact his agent have been successful. Their efforts to contact their client have not been so successful."

Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner, had been working on rehabbing his left knee in Arizona after starting the season 3-6 with a 4.23 ERA in 11 games. He joined the White Sox as a free agent this season.

"He's ready to go in terms of competing," Williams said, according to the Tribune "If he gets to the point where he's ready to mix in more of his breaking balls, he has a place here. If he doesn't, he doesn't have a place here.

"If he's in Charlotte on Thursday and he starts, then we have him on the program we want him to be on and he'll be a candidate for [our] doubleheader July 24," Williams added, according to the report.

The White Sox put Colon on the 15-day disabled list on June 9 with inflammation in his left knee.

But in all seriousness, coming off the heels of McNair's death I hope this isn't anything serious.

The White Sox finally got in contact with him.

A few Ozzie quotes:

''I think Colon disappeared,'' Guillen said before the game, unable to keep a straight face over the bizarre situation. ''I think immigration is looking for him. I worry about Colon because Colon was a big-time Michael Jackson fan. He might see the TV and cry all day long. He maybe is in L.A. at his funeral because I can't find him.''

'Coop, in the past, had a tough time,'' Guillen said. ''To talk to Colon, you got to talk to 20 different people. You got to talk to 30 different cousins of his agent who talks to his brother, his brother calls his wife, his wife says he's with Pedro, Pedro says he's with Juan. I guarantee you, I'll call [President] Obama, and we'll have a talk before Colon answers the phone.

''It's just the way he is. I remember when we signed him. We called the Dominican Republic, and it took three days to get in touch with him.''
