Not a good look by a promising young prospect.

MLB announced on Tuesday that Chicago Cubs minor league pitcher Dalbert Mosquea has received a 56-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance, in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

The 18-year-old right-hander signed with the Cubs in June and has a 0-3 with a 3.14 ERA and one save in nine relief appearances in the Dominican Summer League.
