Pirates reliever Nik Turley suspended 80 games after positive drug test

Pirates left-hander Nik Turley was suspended 80 games on Saturday after testing positive for Ipamorelin, a performance-enhancing drug.

The suspension, which is without pay, begins at the start of the season.

The Pirates claimed Turley off waivers from the Minnesota Twins in November.
