PHOENIX -- A Dodgers player got suspended on Wednesday, after all, though perhaps not who people might have expected. Minor league pitcher Adrian Salcedo tested positive for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance, and was suspended 144 games for violation of the minor league drug treatment program.
Salcedo, 25, was signed by the Dodgers to a minor league contract on Nov. 21, 2015, after putting up strong strikeout rates in the minors since converting to relief in 2013. But his 2015 was marred by a pair of suspensions.
In April, Salcedo tested positive for both a performance-enhancing drug (Tamoxifen) and a stimulant (Heptaminol) and received an 80-game ban.
