Mariners player suspended for violating steroids policy
Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. - Mike Morse of the Seattle Mariners was suspended Wednesday for 10 days for violating the steroids policy, the ninth major league player penalized under baseball's tougher drug rules.

Morse hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning Tuesday night in a 3-2 win over Oakland.

Morse, 23, was batting .287 with three home runs and 23 RBIs in 209 at-bats since being called up from Triple-A earlier this season. The infielder-outfielder was acquired last season in the trade that sent pitcher Freddy Garcia to the Chicago White Sox.

Earlier this season, Mariners pitcher Ryan Franklin and Seattle outfielder Jamal Strong were penalized for violating the steroids policy.
