Borkowski suspended for using PEDs

ATLANTA -- Braves Minor League pitcher Steve Borkowski received a 68-game suspension on Tuesday after testing positive for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

After signing as an undrafted free agent this year, Borkowski posted a 9.00 ERA and allowed a .390 opponents' on-base percentage over the 20 innings he completed for Rookie-level Danville.

Borkowski, 22, will not be paid as he serves the suspension.
