Reds' Volquez fails test for PEDs, gets suspended...
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Edinson Volquez has failed a test for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended for 50 games, SI.com has learned.

It is believed Volquez failed the test during spring training. Major League Baseball confirmed the suspension in a press release and said the suspension will take effect April 21.

Volquez was an NL All-Star in 2008, his first year with Cincinnati, and was off to a 4-2 start with a 4.35 ERA for the Reds in 2009 before being shut down with elbow problems. He didn't pitch after June 1 and underwent Tommy John surgery last August. He is still rehabbing and has not pitched yet this season.

1. He's on the 60-day DL right now
The only thing he's really missing out on is the paycheck. Rehab will continue as normal.
