Rhett Bollinger just tweeted that Chattanooga reliever Adrian Salcedo has been suspended 80 games for testing positive for a banned a performance-enhancer and a stimulant. 

 

He has been pitching very well of late and had a strong showing at Twins big league camp this spring. 

 

I'm sure more information will be made available soon.

I see he's another player from the Dominican Republic.

 

Wasn't MLB going to do an investigation?  The names just keep piling up.

More info?  Don't need any more info, the standard "excuse" is no doubt soon forthcoming. As for now, we now know why he had his "strong spring showing."  Time to move on from yet another 8-year minor league vet and keep moving up some of the well-performing arms at 2 levels in A ball.

Who will replace him?

Yep. A 24 year old who can't make it past A ball without struggling... See ya later!
