CHICAGO (AP) - Two Washington Nationals minor-league players were suspended Friday by the commissioner's office for violating baseball's minor league drug policy, including a 105-game punishment handed to Double-A catcher Roman Castro.
Triple-A shortstop Josh Labandeira was suspended 15 games. Castro had two separate violations of the program and was fined an undisclosed amount.
They are the first Nationals to be suspended for violating the drug program. Their suspensions bring the number of minor leaguers penalized for violations under the minor league program to 77. Five have been suspended under the major league policy.
