Byrd has been suspended for 162 games, Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports.
Byrd was having a solid year at the plate prior to being suspended, hitting .270/.326/.452 with five home runs and 19 RBI through 34 games. His suspension is likely due to repeated PED use, but no official word has been released so it can't be confirmed at this time. With Byrd sitting at the age of 38, it is unknown whether he will serve his suspension and try to return to baseball, or call it a career. More information should be released regarding the situation in the near future.
