An Indians minor leaguer was suspended for amphetamines

Police Blotter

Today is the pitchers and catchers report day for the Cleveland Indians. So getting suspended today is like getting suspended on the first day of school:

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that Cleveland Indians Minor League right-handed pitcher Tyler Sturdevant has received a 50-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Amphetamine, a stimulant in violation ofthe Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Sturdevant is on the Triple-A roster, which means he’ll likely play in Columbus when he comes back. In the meantime, Tyler, if you’re looking to hang out in Columbus call me, dude. I know you’ll have a lot of time on your hands.
