Baltimore Orioles pitcher Zack Dodson, who tested positive for a third time for drug of abuse, will be sidelined for 100 games. New York Mets third baseman Eudor Garcia received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for the performance enhancing drugs Bumetanide and Furosemide. And free agent first baseman Tyler Williams will serve a 50-game suspension for a second positive test for a drug of abuse.
