(SportsNetwork.com) – Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis has been cleared
by Major League Baseball to use Adderall for the upcoming season, his manager
said.
Buck Showalter said Tuesday that Davis told him he was given a theraputic-use
exemption for the medication.
MLB suspended Davis in September for 25 games after he tested positive for an
amphetamine. Davis said he took Adderall by mistake after legally using in the
past.
The first baseman hit just .196 this past season with 26 homers and 72 RBI
after leading the American League with 53 homers and 138 RBI in 2013 on the
way to finishing third in the MVP voting.
