Phillies prospect banned 50 games for positive drug test

CBSSports.com wire reports

NEW YORK -- Philadelphia Phillies minor-league pitcher Alvaro Bacil has been suspended 50 games after a positive drug test.

The right-handed Bacil was suspended Friday after testing positive for a metabolite of Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance that violates the minor-league drug program.

Bacil went 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 11 appearances for the Phillies' Dominican summer league team. His suspension will begin at the start of next season.
