An 80-game suspension will be the sanction that the Dominican baseball player must pay, Fernando Tatis Jr.after testing positive for Clostebola synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid.

The information was released on Friday by the Commissioner’s Office, Rob Manfredthrough a statement, specifying the sanction of the 23-year-old player.

This sanction will not allow Tatis Jr. to be eligible for the postseason, and he will also miss the remainder of the 2022 season and part of the 2023 season.

We are shocked and extremely disappointed by the suspension of Tatis Jr.”, indicated with astonishment the organization of the San Diego Padresafter hearing the news.

It must be remembered that in 2021, the San Diego team made “El Niño” a franchise player by offering him a contract extension for 14 seasons and 340 million dollars.

Despite this lucrative contract, the San Pedro de Macoris native has not yielded as much as the Padres expected, given that in December he suffered an accident on his motorcycle and also lied about everything that happened.

Then, despite the fact that Major League Baseball registered a collective strike, it was not until mid-March that the team really knew the seriousness of the situation. And it is that after several check-ups, Tatis Jr. required an operation on his left wrist.

During the past weekend, after a long recovery process, the Dominican infielder was working on his return to the MLB in the minors, but this Friday’s information completely changes the plans.
