Florida Marlins catcher Ronny Paulino has been suspended 50 days by Major League Baseball for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. The suspension begins immediately.
Paulino becomes the first player on the Marlins' 25-man roster to receive a suspension since the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs took effect in 2006.
Paulino, 29, is in his second season with the Marlins and has carried a heavy workload this season due to an injury to catcher John Baker, playing in 91 of the team's 120 games.
To replace Paulino, the Marlins called up catcher Brad Davis from Triple A New Orleans.
