Doesn’t matter if back or not . Not eligible to play in the All-Star or post season if suspended for doping.
Oh, I see. That must be a new rule in MLB.
Doesn’t surprise me since he was a member of the new york juicers err skankees.

Improve your eyesight? :)
A friend of ours had problems in that area. He says carrots and celery helped him a lot.
They signed Ellsbury to mitigate the anger of the fans at losing Cano, as I recall.
I saw Sterling Hitchcock in A ball. I saw a bunch of those 1990s dynasty Yankees in A ball.
If they’re being used to cover PEDs, they’re masking agents, and that’s a ban.
If not, then you need a document. I forget the name of it. It’s essentially a doctor’s not to MLB saying the medication is prescribed. Chris Davis of the Orioles takes Adderall, a medication for ADD, and he got suspended by MLB under the drug protocol a few years ago because he forgot to file the paperwork.
That was back in 2014. Here is a link.

The piece of paper is called a “therapeutic use exemption.”
Yipes! I meant Starlin Castro.
Starlin played second base, making the first halfway decent offensive second baseman since Cano left.
Starlin and Sterling both were Yankees... Zheesh!
Yes, but Starlin was traded for two reasons:
1. They were taking on Stanton and his contract, and tehy needed some offset.
2. Gleyber Torres.
One reason, Gleyber Torres. They didn’t need the offset.
If they wanted to stay under the luxury tax threshold, they did. That was also the reason for the Headley trade.
Only the Yankees could add the most expensive contract in baseball history, cut payroll, get under the luxury tax threshold, and have the best record in baseball at the quarter pole — all at the same time.
This will save them millions over the next several years.
Read the story again. He’s banned from postseason
The important part here
The implications, to be sure, are many. Cano will not be eligible to draw his usual salary, meaning hell forfeit about $10MM and save the team the same amount. And hell surely lose some sponsorship opportunities, costing him further money. The veteran second baseman also will not be eligible to participate in the postseason if the Mariners make it in.
