Atlanta's Vizcaino suspended

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that Atlanta Braves Minor League right-handed pitcher Arodys Vizcaino has received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance, in violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

The suspension of Vizcaino, who is currently on the roster of Triple-A Gwinnett and is a member of the Club's 40-man roster, will be effective for the first 80 games of the 2015 regular season.
