2003 first-round pick Jeff Allison, who has been on the Marlins’ suspended list since the start of the year, suffered a heroin overdose and had to be revived by police on Monday.
Allison, 21, also overdosed on heroin in July 2004. He resumed pitching in the minors last year, but he was suspended indefinitely this spring and hadn’t been heard from since. Following this week’s incident, Allison was taken to Winchester Hospital and released the same day, according to friends and witnesses. Medford Police Lieutenant Paul Cavino said no charges had been filed against Allison, but police have sought a complaint and Cavino could not rule out charges being brought.
