NEW YORK (AP) — Two minor league pitchers have been suspended 50 games each after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
Joselito Adames of the Oakland organization and San Lazaro Solano of the Philadelphia system were penalized Thursday.
Adames is on roster of the Athletics’ team in the rookie Arizona League. Solano was with the Phillies’ team in the Dominican Summer League.
The penalties will start in the 2011 season.
Adames and Solano were the second and third players suspended this year under the minor league drug program.
