Matt Childers suspended 50 games
AAA pitcher Matt Childers has been suspended for 50 games for violating the minor league drug and prevention treatment program. He has started 7 games in AAA ball and he was 4-1 with a 3.41 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP. He has pitched 37 innings and he has allowed 45 hits, walked 10 batters and whiffed 26. Childers screwed himself up pretty good here because the Phillies have had a lot of injuries in their pitching staff and he might have got a call from them at some point.
