Houston Astros prospect Forrest Whitley has been suspended 50 games for violating minor league baseball's drug program.
Per MLB.com's Brian McTaggart, Major League Baseball announced Whitley's suspension Wednesday.
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow addressed Whitley's failed drug test, via McTaggart:
"We're disappointed in the outcome. We support Major League Baseball's drug program, and we do everything we can to educate our guys and keep them from making decisions that results in suspensions. But in this case, as an organization, we're going to suffer a little bit. But we're still hopeful and optimistic Forrest is going to be a big part of our future.
