That report, posted tonight on ESPN.com, said MLB is seeking to suspend about 20 players believed to have received performance enhancing drugs from Biogenesis, including stars Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun.
Gonzalez's name was initially tied to Biogenesis and founder Anthony Bosch in a Miami New Times article published in late-January, but the pitcher denied any connection and a subsequent ESPN report said he received only legal substances from the clinic.
In tonight's report, ESPN said Gonzalez will be "scrutinized but possibly exonerated" by MLB, which has been conducting its own investigation into the matter since the story first broke. Reporter T.J. Quinn expanded on Twitter, saying Gonzalez is "unlikely" to be suspended and that Bosch (who will testify against players) will confirm that the left-hander received only legal substances from him.
Gonzalez also passed a drug test administered by MLB in February, further suggesting he wouldn't face any punishment.

I sure hope so. They are talking about 100 game suspensions. This team cannot take any more bad news.
Thanks Goodness!!!
In a season of bad news this is welcome.
In Gio I trust. What a relief! This would have been unrecoverable, in my view.
Any Braves named?
Seam head, I like the way you think! Maybe a Philly or two as well... :-)
Oh, and if there are a lot of ex-Marlins on the list, then Marlin's management is smart for dumping those players. Of course, they will have a lot of trouble making deals in the future. That's a franchise killer.
I bet it's due to proximity to the "clinic" more that anything else.
Good news.
I am not surprised. Gio is a class guy and there has been absolutely nothing indicating that he used any substance from that clinic, banned or otherwise. MLB should exonerate him. The innocent do not deserve to be tarred along with the guilty.
Laddie, I am sickened by this Biogenesis. MLB is on a witch hunt. Don't trust a liar like Bosch.
Marlins take the lead over the Phillies in the 10th with a Wild Pitch. Pierre stole 3rd to set it up. That's guts with no outs by a team that has nothing to lose.
Where is everyone?
Rangers 1st baseman David Murphy is pitching for the Rangers and just got a K.
After the K, the batter gets thrown out for arguing balls and strikes.
Oh< I posting in the wrong spot.
No braves. The only other nl east player would be mets minor leaguer Cesar puello
CBA wont all 100 games to someone who already served a 50 gamer
How did Gio receive legal substances from Bosch, when he on record as saying he has never meet the man. I'm glad Gio will be spared, but there is more here than meets the eye...
