Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda received a 60-game suspension from MLB for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman.
MLB.com's Do-Hyoung Park reported Pineda tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide. ESPN's Jeff Passan added that MLB originally levied an 80-game suspension on the veteran right-hander but reduced the punishment to 60 games, "as a compelling case was made that a banned diuretic he used was not a masking agent for PEDs."
