NEW YORK — Cleveland Indians pitcher Tyler Sturdevant has been suspended for 50 games under baseball’s minor league drug program following a positive test for a banned amphetamine.
The 29-year-old right-hander is on the roster of Triple-A Columbus of the International League. He spent last season with the Clippers and Akron, going 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA and eight saves in 46 relief appearances.
The suspension, announced Wednesday, was the 35th this year under the minor league program.
Sturdevant graduated from Chatfield High School in Littleton before playing college ball at New Mexico State.
