NEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Wilmer Colmenarez and free-agent pitcher Guido Gomez have been suspended for 50 games each following positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs under baseball’s minor league program.

Jonathan Weber, a retired minor league, has been suspended for 100 games following his third positive test for a drug of abuse.

Colmenarez, a member of the Dodgers’ Dominican Summer League team, tested positive for metabolites of Nandrolone. Gomez tested positive for metabolites of Stanozolol.

The suspensions of Weber and Gomez will begin if they sign new contracts.

Major League Baseball announced the suspensions on Monday.
