Kyle Simon has been suspended 50 games following a second positive test for a drug of abuse.
Simon was traded from the Orioles to the Phillies in the Jim Thome trade back in June 2012 and then selected by the Rockies on the minor league side of this winter’s Rule 5 Draft. Colorado has since released him. The 24-year-old right-hander posted a pedestrian 3.93 ERA, 1.295 WHIP, and 41/21 K/BB ratio in 75 2/3 innings last season between Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
