NEW YORK (AP) — Two players have been suspended for 50 games for violating baseball’s minor league drug policy.

Chicago Cubs prospect Matt Camp, an outfielder who plays for Double-A Tennessee, was penalized for a second violation for a drug of abuse. Free agent pitcher Adam Osteen tested positive for methasterone and metabolites of methandienone.

Camp’s suspension is effective immediately. Osteen’s ban begins when he signs with a major league organization.

The commissioner’s office announced the penalties Wednesday.
