Rays reliever Belisario fractures shoulder, out indefinitely

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Ronald Belisario has fractured his non-throwing shoulder in a swimming pool accident and is not expected to be ready for the start of the season.

The team said Saturday that Belisario will be sidelined indefinitely. The Rays right-hander injured his left shoulder getting out of a pool in Venezuela last month. Belisario will be held out of on-field drills for at least two weeks.

Belisario is a non-roster invitee competing for a bullpen job after going 4-8 with a 5.56 ERA in 62 appearances with the Chicago White Sox last season.

President of baseball operations Matt Silverman said Belisario's shoulder ''hadn't been checked out until he got here'' for spring training this week.
