Four Minor Leaguers receive suspension

Major League Baseball officially announced last week that a players and two Minor Leaguers from the Dominican Summer League have received 50-game suspensions for violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Pitcher Daniel Vazquez, who pitched for Double-A Mobile in the D-backs organization last season, will start the 2010 season under suspension after testing positive for metabolites of a performance-enhancing substance. Free-agent catcher Matt Tupman, who recently played for Mobile as well, has been suspended a second time for a drug of abuse and will serve his suspension upon signing with a Major League organization. In addition, Jefferson Segundo of the Cardinals will be suspended for testing positive for metabolites of Stanozolol, and Joel Tamares of the Marlins organization will be suspended for testing positive as well. It seems that they have to take off their mlb jerseys for a period.
