The suspension was announced just minutes ago following the conclusion of a confidential investigation by the league’s anti-doping committee. According to sources close to the MLB, Buxton’s test results returned positive for a performance-enhancing drug (PED), although the exact substance has not yet been disclosed.
The Minnesota Twins organization has issued a brief statement, saying:
> “We are aware of the situation regarding Byron Buxton and are fully cooperating with league authorities. While we are disappointed, we support due process and will refrain from further comment until more facts are available.”
Buxton, who has been a fan favorite for his explosive speed, defensive brilliance, and leadership on and off the field, has yet to release a personal statement. His indefinite suspension means he will be barred from team activities, pending further disciplinary action and possible appeal.
Fans across the country are expressing shock and disappointment, as Buxton was in the midst of what many considered a comeback season.
