(Sports Network) - A pair of New York Yankees minor league pitchers and a Chicago Cubs minor league hurler were each suspended 50 games Friday for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Justo Arias and Rafael Martinez of the Yankees both tested positive for metabolites of stanozolol, while Jhon Rodriguez of the Cubs tested positive for metabolites of nandrolone. Each player performed in the Dominican Summer League.
