MLB suspends Tigers minor league pitcher for 100 games

Major League Baseball on Friday suspended Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Cesar Carrillo 100 games for violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Carrillo is among those who allegedly received performance-enhancing drugs from Anthony Bosch, operator of the Biogenesis Clinic in Miami, according to Mlive.com.

Carrillo pitched in 12 games last season for the Tigers' Single-A and Double-A clubs last season. He currently is on the roster of the Tigers' Double-A Erie club in the Eastern League.

His suspension will start at the beginning of the 2013 season.
