Rays pitcher Alex Colome still hasn't reported to camp due to a visa issue, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Colome was a candidate for the fifth spot in the team's rotation, at least until Matt Moore was able to return from Tommy John surgery. He's been able to put in work at the club's facility in the Domincan Republic, and manager Kevin Cash doesn't want to rule him out just yet.
"Colome is getting his work in. We know that. We’ve had communication on that," Cash said. "As I’ve said the whole time, we’d like to have him here. I don’t think it’s fair to punish a guy for being held up, so he’s still very much a factor."
Colome, 26, posted a 2.66 ERA over 23 2/3 innings last year.
