Marlon Byrd, who was a Phillies draftee and a player with the big club over two different stints, has been suspended by Major League Baseball for a 2nd positive PED test result.
Byrd was previously suspended for 50 games during the 2012 season, which he split between the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox.
Byrd was the Phillies 10th round pick in the 1999 MLB Amateur Draft out of college in his home state of Georgia.
He shot quickly through the Phillies system with successful full seasons at High-A Piedmont in 2000, AA Reading in 2001, and finally AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre in the 2002 season.
