Brewers catcher Pedro Severino suspended 80 games by MLB for use of performance-enhancing drug Signed in the offseason, the backup to Omar Narváez had a solid spring at the plate. Now, Milwaukee must figure out a Plan B.

Hit with 80-game ban Severino was issued an 80-game suspension Tuesday after testing positive for Clomiphene, a performance-enhancing substance, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Severino was signed in November to back up Omar Narvaez behind the plate, but he'll now be ineligible to play until July 3, barring an appeal of the suspension. Mario Feliciano and Brett Sullivan are the other catchers on Milwaukee's 40-man roster, but they have a single MLB plate appearance between them, so it's possible the team will look to bring in outside help at the position.

Swinging bat well this spring Severino went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's spring game against the Mariners.
Impact Severino has been seeing it well in his first spring training with the Brewers, going 10-for-23 (.435) with two homers, nine RBI and a 6:2 BB:K. He is slated to open the season backing up starting catcher Omar Narvaez, but he should see a fair amount of starts against left-handed pitchers, having posted an .818 OPS over 161 plate appearances against southpaws last season.
