Carlos Martinez has been suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for Ibutamoren, which is in violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Martinez, who signed a five-year contract extension with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2017, had his club option for 2022 declined after a series of rough seasons.

He signed a minor league deal with the San Francisco Giants this March, but was released in April. He landed with the Boston Red Sox, but managed just two starts for Triple-A Worcester before he was released again.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham on Saturday said he agreed to a three-game suspension for slapping San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson in the cheek over a fantasy football dispute prior to Friday's game.

Major League Baseball has suspended New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson for one game for "inappropriate comments" made to Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson on Saturday.

Donaldson, who also was fined an undisclosed amount, is appealing the punishment, MLB announced. He will be eligible to play for the Yankees until the appeal process is completed. Shortly before the suspension was announced, the Yankees said Donaldson had been put on the COVID-19 injured list.

Right-hander Matt Harvey has been suspended 60 games for distributing a "drug of abuse" under Major League Baseball's drug program, the league announced Tuesday.

Harvey, who is currently with the Baltimore Orioles at the team's extended spring training facility, said in February he provided oxycodone to late Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs.

Tim Anderson had his one-game suspension for making an obscene gesture toward fans in a game in Cleveland recently reduced to just a fine.

After a fan made a comment to Anderson in the first game of a doubleheader on April 20, Anderson was caught on camera flashing his middle finger in the direction of the fan.

He appealed and won, avoiding sitting out a game.

Anderson was suspended for the first three games of the 2022 season after making contact with an umpire late last year, which was reduced to two games upon appeal.

Major League Baseball suspended New York Mets reliever Yoan Lopez three games and manager Buck Showalter one after it deemed that Lopez intentionally threw at Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber during the top of the ninth inning of Sunday night's clash at Citi Field.

Both were also fined an undisclosed amount.
