San Diego Padres center fielder Cameron Maybin became the first major-league player to be suspended for performance-enhancing drug use Wednesday when he tested positive for amphetamines.
Maybin will be suspended 25 games without pay.
The Padres were notified earlier of the suspension, and called up outfielder Jeff Francoeur from their Triple-A El Paso team.
The suspension is just the latest jolt to the relationship between the Padres and Maybin, who has been a huge disappointment since signing his five-year, $25 million contract in 2012.
Maybin played just 14 games last season because of an array of injuries, and this season, is hitting just .247 with one home run and nine RBI in 62 games.
