NEW YORK, N.Y. - Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Alex Colome has been suspended for the first 50 games of the season for a positive steroids test. The 25-year-old right-hander tested positive for Boldenone, the commissioners office said Monday. Boldenone is used primarily for the treatment of horses. Colome was 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in three midseason starts as a rookie last year. Colome was optioned March 8 to Triple-A Durham of the International League. "We were disappointed to learn of Alex Colomes violation of Major League Baseballs Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," the Rays said in a statement. "We fully support Major League Baseballs policy and its efforts to eliminate performance-enhancing substances from our game." Colome, a native of the Dominican Republic, reached the majors for the first time last season, defeating the Miami Marlins in his debut on May 30. He was recalled again in June, making two starts against the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers before hurting his pitching elbow. Colome was viewed as valuable rotation depth in light of an off-season elbow surgery that will keep right-hander Jeremy Hellickson out until May. He is the second player suspended this year under the big league drug program following Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who was banned for the entire season for violations of the drug agreement and labour contract.

McClendon said the injuries to Iwakuma (finger) and Walker (shoulder) will open up chances for others in camp, but also leave a rotation that had questions entering spring training even more uncertain. "I always plan for the worst and our contingency plan has been that," McClendon said. "So like I said before this gives other guys opportunities to go out and see what they can do. Well see what happens." Iwakuma will have his right middle finger in a splint for another three weeks before throwing, while Walker is being shut down for a week because of inflammation in his right shoulder. By the time the duo make up for missed time on the mound it will be early- to mid-April before either is expected in a game. While Seattle is understandably cautious with the sore shoulder of the 21-year-old Walker because of his age, the finger injury has become frustrating for Iwakuma. When he went to see Dr. Don Sheridan on Friday, Iwakuma had the expectation that he could start throwing oon Saturday.dddddddddddd Instead, he was told to avoid throwing for three more weeks. The earliest Iwakuma is expected to pick up a ball is March 21. By the time he gets caught up on bullpen sessions and simulated games to get the needed innings to be ready for the season, itll likely be mid-April before he could join the Mariners rotation. "I was honestly disappointed and frustrated too at the same time, but you have to respect what the doctor says," Iwakuma said through an interpreter Saturday morning. "I was ready to play catch today so it is what it is and I have to wait three more weeks." Iwakuma went 14-6 with a 2.66 ERA in 33 starts last season and was a finalist for the AL Cy Young Award. Iwakuma reported for spring training wearing the splint and said his finger got caught as he tried to retrieve a ball in some netting while working out in Southern California on Jan. 20. McClendon also confirmed -- not surprisingly -- that Felix Hernandez is expected to be Seattles opening day starter when the Mariners open the season on March 31 against the Angels. "Unless youve got somebody else," McClendon joked. "Ill try and see if he can go opening day, the second day and the third day."
