Rays
ST. PETERSBURG — It took longer than RHP Alex Colome expected, but he finally will make his season debut tonight when the Rays open a series against the Orioles at Tropicana Field.
Colome, who is out of options and was expected to make the rotation out of camp, had his spring training delayed by visa issues in his native Dominican Republic, then interrupted by a week-long bout with pneumonia that required a hospital stay.
Now, 23 games into the season, Colome is ready to pitch in a major-league game.
“I feel like back to normal,” Colome said.
