Braves reliever Andrew McKirahan suspended 80 games for PED use (Big League Stew)

The Atlanta Braves' bullpen took another hit Monday, though this time it's not due to injury or trade. Left-hander Andrew McKirahan was suspended 80 games after testing positive for PEDs. The news comes via Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports and was confirmed by the Braves.

McKirahan, 25, was picked up by Atlanta off waivers from Miami near the end of spring training. He's the third major leaguer to receive a PED suspension so far this season. Twins starting pitcher Ervin Santana and Mets closer Jenrry Mejia are the other two.
