Manny Ramirez has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended for 50 games starting today, the L.A. Times' Bill Shaikin and Dylan Hernandez are reporting. "Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly. The Dodgers informed triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul this morning that he was being promoted to Los Angeles." Manny is out until July 3. Added: Scott Boras, Ramirez's agent, told ESPN's Peter Gammons that his client did not test positive for steroids, but for a drug that was prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition.
