Angels catcher Carlos Ramirez, who spent the past two seasons in Double-A, has been suspended for 100 games for his third violation of a “drug of abuse,” according to a Major League baseball release.
Ramirez, 25, hit .206 last season at Arkansas after serving a 50-game drug suspension. Ramirez is not on the Angels’ 40-man roster.
Ramirez was the Angels’ 34th-round draft pick in 2007. He was well regarded for his defense, but he has a career .260 average in the minors.
