Montana DuRapau suspended for 50 games

Right-handed pitcher Montana DuRapau seemed prime to make his Major League debut at some point in 2018. However, those plans may now have been derailed.

On Friday, Montana DuRapau was suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball. The suspension is due to DuRapau violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy for the second time.

As Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review points out, his failed drug test was not due to PEDs.
