Minor-league pitcher Jose Belen, who plays for the Rockies’ Dominican Summer League team, on Tuesday was punished with a 50-game suspension after testing positive for a banned substance, the commissioner’s office said.
Belen tested positive for metabolites of Methandienone, a performance-enhancing substance that violates MLB’s Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The suspension begins at the start of the 2010 season.
