Baltimore Orioles pitcher Matt Harvey has received a 60-game suspension for distributing drugs three months after testifying that he gave oxycodone to his deceased Angels teammate Tyler Skaggs, who suffered a fatal overdose in 2019. Harvey also admitted to cocaine use in his February testimony at the trial of Eric Prescott Kay, the former Angels employee who was ultimately convicted of providing Skaggs with the drugs that led to his overdose death. Kay will be sentenced on June 28 for drug distribution resulting in death, and faces anywhere from 20 years to life in prison.The commissioner's office announced the ban on Tuesday, stating that Harvey will be suspended without pay for violating MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
