Milwaukee, Wis. (WFRV) It appears the Milwaukee Brewers will not be missing left fielder Ryan Braun's bat this season.
The MLB Players' Assocation announced Thursday that Braun won his appeal concerning a 50 game suspension for testing postive for performance enhancing drugs.
The decision comes after it was announced in early December that Braun tested positive for PEDs during the Brewers post season run. Braun had apparently tested positive for synthetic testosterone.
From early on the National League MVP said he would be exonerated, despite the fact that no player had ever won an appeal concerning a positive test for PEDs.
With the loss of Prince Fielder to free agency a 50 game suspension would have significiantly hurt the Brewers chances of staying competitive.
Local 5 Sports will have much more on these developments tonight at 5:00 and 6:00.
