Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Marlins catcher Ronny Paulino has been suspended for 50 games after violating MLB's drug policy. Paulino tested positive for an unspecified performance-enhancing substance and his suspension begins immediately, MLB announced Friday.
The 29-year-old has played in 91 games for Florida this year, hitting .259 with four homers and 37 RBI. He has been the Marlins' regular starter behind the plate this season, including four of their last five games.
The Marlins have 42 games remaining this year, so Paulino's suspension will reach into the second week of the 2011 regular season.
The Marlins called up Brad Davis to take Paulino's roster spot.
Paulino is the second major league player suspended for drug policy violations this year but the first one who will actually miss time because of it. The Reds' Edinson Volquez drew a 50-game ban in April but he already was on the disabled list after undergoing surgery last year and didn't return to the field until after the All-Star break anyway.
According to Biz of Baseball, 75 minor leaguers have been suspended for drug violations this season.
