Cleveland Indians outfielder Marlon Byrd was suspended 162 games—the length of a full MLB season—without pay on Wednesday for a performance-enhancing drug violation.

"Marlon is devastated, but understands that he is responsible for the supplements he takes," Reisinger said.

At 38 years old, Byrd's career is likely over.
