Orioles minor league pitcher Brian Parker has been suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for the second time, a violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Major League Baseball and its teams do not announce what specific drug was found in violators’ systems.
Parker, 24, a right-handed reliever, was 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 35 games at Single-A Frederick last year before pitching two games (0-0, 3.60 ERA) at Double-A Bowie. He is listed on the Bowie roster, and therefore his suspension will begin April 8 and be lifted in June. He likely will go to the organization’s minor league facility in Sarasota, Fla., when the suspension ends and then will be re-evaluated by the minor league staff at that time.
Parker’s stats. As noted in the article, this is his second positive test.
