The Pittsburgh Pirates announced that infielder Francisco Acuna has been suspended for 80 games due to PEDs. Acuna was just recently named as our Player of the Week, then he backed that up with a .915 OPS this past week. While there’s never a good time for a PED suspension, the fact that he was on a hot streak at the time makes it even worse. The 22-year-old hit .271/.361/.452 in 63 games this season, while playing solid defense, seeing most of his time at shortstop. With only 12 games left in the season for Greensboro, he won’t be able to play until mid-June next year.
