He’s the third Pittsburgh Pirate suspended in the last few weeks, with right-handed pitcher Montana DuRapau receiving a 50-game suspension and left-handed pitcher Nik Turley receiving an 80-game suspension. Turley received a longer suspension due to being on the 40-man roster and failing for a PED. His suspension starts on Opening Day for the Pirates. Tolman and DuRapau start on Opening Day for the minor league season.
