NEW YORK (AP) Former big league outfielder Nate Schierholtz has been suspended for 80 games following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance under baseball's minor league drug program.
The 32-year-old, currently a free agent, tested positive for Ibutamoren, a growth hormone secretagogue, the commissioner's office said Friday.
Schierholtz started the season with Detroit's Triple-A team in Toledo. He was released May 23.
He hit .253 with 52 homers and 228 RBIs for San Francisco (2007-12), Philadelphia (2012), the Chicago Cubs (2013-14) and Washington (2014).
