NEW YORK (AP) — Two Dominican Summer League players have been suspended following positive tests for steroids under baseball’s minor league drug program, one getting a 100-game ban for a second offense.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Gregorio Robles has tested positive twice for a banned performance-enhancing drug. His 100-game suspension will begin with the start of the 2010 season.

Cleveland Indians pitcher Jeffry Cleto was banned 50 games for a first offense and will also start his suspension at the opening of the season.

Major League Baseball said Thursday both players tested positive for metabolites of Stanozolol.
