Houston Astros prospect and minor league pitcher Forrest Whitley has suspended 50 games, reports ESPN's Buster Olney.
It's unclear what Whitley tested positive for at this time. He will be suspended without pay, and this will only put off his 2018 major league debut. At 20, the right-hander is a top-10 prospect in all of baseball.
Whitley finished last year at Double-A Corpus Christi, where he went without a decision in 2 starts, 4 appearances and 14 2/3 innings. He struck out 15.95 batters per 9 with a 1.68 FIP.
