Grandal suspended 50 games for testosterone
Yasmani Grandal - C - San Diego Padres
Nov. 7, 2012 - 3:40 PM ET
MLB suspended Yasmani Grandal for 50 games without pay for testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
The suspension will take him out of commission for almost the entire first two months of the 2013 season. Grandal showed a lot of promise as a rookie this season, batting .297/.394/.469 with eight homers, 36 RBI and an .863 OPS over 226 plate appearances, so this is a very tough blow for the Padres' offense. Some have speculated that the Padres will shop Nick Hundley this offseason, but they may be more inclined to keep him around at this point.
