Melky Cabrera Suspended 50 Games After Testing Positive for Testosterone

Michael Garcia - August 16, 2012

San Francisco Giants star Melky Cabrera, who is second in the National League with a .346 batting average has been suspended by MLB for 50 games after testing positive for testosterone use.

The suspension, effective immediately, is a huge loss for the NL West leading Giants (tied with the L.A. Dodgers), since there are only 45 games left in the regular season. The 2012 All-Star MVP's presence will definitely be missed as San Francisco tries to secure a berth in the playoffs.
