The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that two Minor League players from
the New York Yankees organization, pitchers Nestor de Leon and Ramon Rodriguez, have received 50-game
suspensions after each tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the Minor
League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Rodriguez tested positive for Boldenone, while de Leon
tested positive for metabolites of Stanozolol.
The suspensions of both players, who are members of the organization's Dominican Summer League
team, are effective immediately.
