The announcement Tuesday came one day after Orioles slugger Rafael Palmeiro was suspended after testing positive for steroids. Franklin, a 32-year-old right-hander, is 6-11 this season with a 4.61 ERA in 22 games, including 20 starts. He was expected to talk with reporters later Tuesday. ``We are very disappointed to learn this news,'' Mariners spokesman Tim Hevly said. ``But it's the direction of Major League Baseball, and, following its rules, we are not able to comment further.''
