Garrett has now been given a three-game suspension by Major League Baseball. The thirty-year-old reliever is appealing the suspension and will be available to pitch until the appeal is heard.  

Across 32 innings pitched this season, Garrett holds a poor 4.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34 strikeouts. He is a career 5.03 ERA pitcher, with 288 innings under his belt.
