NEW YORK (AP) — Two minor league pitchers in the Minnesota Twins organization have been suspended 50 games each under baseball's minor league drug program.

Major League Baseball announced Tuesday that Yeison Florentino and Ezequiel Zarzuela each tested positive. They both play on the Twins' team in the Dominican Summer League.

Florentino tested positive for metabolites of Nandrolone and Zarzuela tested positive for metabolites of Stanozolol.

The suspensions are effective at the start of this season.

There have been 23 suspensions this year under the minor league drug program.
