UNDATED (AP) – Seattle Mariners infielder Tim Beckham has been suspended 80 games as part of baseball’s joint drug agreement after testing positive for a banned substance.  Beckham’s suspension is effective immediately and ends his season. Beckham was hitting .237 with 15 home runs and 47 RBIs in 88 games this season, his first in Seattle.  In a statement released through the players’ association, Beckham says he took a product from a “trusted source, who had advised it was safe to take.”
