According to sources close to the investigation, Puckett’s test results revealed the presence of a performance-enhancing drug, triggering an automatic suspension under MLB’s drug policy. The league has not disclosed the specific substance found.
In a brief statement released by the Twins organization, the team expressed its “shock and disappointment” at the news, adding that it would “cooperate fully with the MLB and support Kirby through this process.”
Puckett, an 8-time All-Star and beloved figure in Minnesota, has not yet issued a personal statement, but sources suggest he is preparing to appeal the suspension.
