Tyson Miller has been handed a two-year suspension following a doping violation. The suspension, which was announced today by Major League Baseball (MLB), will keep Miller off the field for the entirety of the next two seasons. This news has sent shockwaves through both the Cubs’ organization and the baseball community as a whole.
Miller, who has shown promise in his time with the Cubs, was flagged for a positive test during routine MLB testing. While the specific substance that led to the suspension has not been disclosed, it is understood that it involves a banned performance-enhancing drug (PED).

The Cubs issued a statement expressing disappointment over the situation. “We are deeply saddened by the news regarding Tyson and are fully committed to supporting him during this time,” said Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer. “While this is a serious violation, we understand the importance of adhering to the rules, and Tyson will need to take responsibility for his actions. We will continue to work closely with him and the league as he navigates this process.”
Miller’s suspension comes at a time when the Cubs were hoping to rely on their young pitching talent to help build a more competitive team in the future.

Miller, who has been with the Cubs since 2020, expressed shock and regret upon hearing about the suspension. “I take full responsibility for my actions and the violation of the rules,” Miller said in a statement. “I deeply regret letting down my teammates, coaches, and the Cubs organization.

The young pitcher also emphasized his commitment to working through the suspension, focusing on improving himself both as a player and as an individual. His statement reflected a desire to move
