Ryan Adams has been suspended 100 games for his second positive test for an amphetamine. Adams was released by the Dodgers earlier this month, so he'll begin serving the suspension once he latches on with a new organization. The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in the majors since 2011 and is strictly minor league fodder at this point in his career.

Dodgers signed 2B Ryan Adams to a minor league contract. Adams hit just .224/.312/.353 with four homers in 2012 with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate and didn't play at all last season. He's merely a depth add.

Ryan Adams will undergo surgery soon to repair a sports hernia. It's an injury Adams has dealt with all season, though it was originally diagnosed as a groin injury. "It's just not getting any better and I talked to [manager Buck Showalter], and it was just one of those things, 'Why wait another week? Why not just get it done now?'" Adams said. The recovery period for the procedure isn't long, and Adams should be fine by spring training.
