Kepler Suspended, Signed by D-backs
Description
Arizona’s new big bat Max Kepler is sidelined by an 80-game PED suspension — he won’t play until June 25th — but the Diamondbacks still pulled the trigger on a contract with the 33-year veteran who’s got power and postseason experience. Kepler tested positive for Epitrenbolone, a banned substance found in bodybuilding products and cattle growth aids — and he’s the first MLB player suspended for this since 2005. Despite a shortened 2023 season due to injuries, he still hit 18 homers and drove in 52 runs. Now, the question is: can he deliver when he’s finally eligible to play?
