FLASH - MLB Suspends New York Mets Pitcher

                        

Two minor league righthanders, the Mets’ Estarlin Morel and the Giants’ Paul Davis, have been suspended for violating the minor league drug program. Both suspensions are effective immediately.
In his fifth pro season after signing out of the Dominican Republic in 2009, Morel will sit out 25 games for a “violation of the program,” according to a Major League Baseball press release. The 23-year-old posted a 3.76 ERA and 2-to-1 strikeout-t0-walk ratio in 24 relief appearances this season, having spent 21 0f those games at high Class A St. Lucie prior to receiving a recent demotion to low Class A Savannah.
