NEW YORK (AP) — Baltimore Orioles pitcher Matt Harvey has been suspended for 60 games by Major League Baseball for distributing a prohibited drug of abuse.
The former New York Mets star admitted in February during a trial in federal court to using cocaine in New York and California. A 33-year-old right-hander, Harvey agreed last month to a minor league contract with the Orioles that would have a $1 million salary if he is added to the 40-man roster.
He has been working out at Baltimore’s extended spring training facility and has not pitched in any games.
