NEW YORK (AP) — Cleveland Guardians left-hander Jaime Arias has been suspended for 80 games by Major League Baseball following a positive test for a performance-enhancing drug under the minor league drug program. The commissioner’s office says the 21-year-old tested positive for a substance that modifies how a body metabolizes fat. Arias is 1-2 with a 6.05 ERA in six starts and six relief appearances for Double-A Akron of the Eastern League. Nine players have been disciplined under the minor league program this year.
