In case you missed it, Tim Beckham was suspended for 80 games due to use of the banned PED Stanozolol. To fill his spot, Tim Lopes was called up, and he hit a home run for his first big league hit! Hot and cold, baseball.
According to Ryan Divish, for what it’s worth, Beckham was not likely long for the roster anyways.
Tim Beckham's suspension was embarrassing for him and the Mariners. But he was probably going to be DFA in the next week. He didn't have a position and wasn't going to play when the younger players got called up.
