Cleveland Indians pitcher Tyler Sturdevant has been suspended for 50 games under baseball's minor league drug program following a positive test for a banned amphetamine. The 29-year-old right-hander is currently on the roster of the Columbus Clippers. He spent last season with the Clippers and the Akron RubberDucks, going 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA and eight saves in 46 relief appearances. The suspension is the 35th this year under the minor league program.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
