GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking into contingency plans for their opening-day bullpen while Ronald Belisario tries to report to camp.
Belisario has been unable to secure a visa for the 2010 season and remains in his native Venezuela. The right-hander went 4-3 with a 2.04 ERA in 69 games as a rookie last year, helping Los Angeles win the NL West.
Belisario's agent Paul Kinzer said Thursday that he didn't have an update on his client's status.
Belisario had the same issue last year and missed two weeks of camp before being a surprise late addition to the major league roster.
Former NL Cy Young Award winner Eric Gagne, in camp on a minor league deal, is one of the relievers that could benefit from Belisario's absence.
