Cubs minor league pitcher Dalbert Mosquea suspended 56 games for positive drug test
NEW YORK — Chicago Cubs pitcher Dalbert Mosquea was suspended for 56 games Tuesday under baseball's minor league drug program following a positive test for the performance-enhancing substance Stanozolol.
The 18-year-old right-hander signed with the Cubs in June and was 0-3 with a 3.14 ERA and one save in nine relief appearances in the Dominican Summer League.
Eleven players have been disciplined under the minor league program this year.
