LOS ANGELES -- Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon, the reigning National League batting champion and a two-time All-Star, has been suspended by Major League Baseball for 80 games without pay for violating the league's drug policy.
Gordon played in 133 game for the Lookouts where he hit .277
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball levied the suspension after Gordon tested positive for exogenous Testosterone and Clostebol, performance-enhancing substances, in violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
It is effective immediately. Gordon would be eligible to return on July 29 when the Marlins play host to the Cardinals. He would not be eligible to play in the postseason.
The announcement was made minutes after the Marlins defeated the Dodgers, 5-3, completing a four-game sweep at Dodger Stadium.
Gordon, an All-Star the past two seasons, won the NL batting title in 2015, when he posted a .333 average with a league-best 205 hits and 58 steals. He also led the NL with 64 steals in '14, before the Dodgers traded him to the Marlins.
