MLB: Two Tigers Minor League players suspended

Awaits Hank Aaron’s take….

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that two Minor League players from the Detroit Tigers organization, pitchers Carlos Alvarado and Frank Penalver, have been suspended after each tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Alvarado tested positive for a metabolite of Nandrolone, while Penalver tested positive for a metabolite of Boldenone.

The suspensions of both players, who are members of the organization’s Venezuelan Summer League team, are effective immediately.

..."Towards the end of their suspensions, they will go on rehab assignments in the majors."

I'd have been worried by the headline, except that I'm confident that the Tigers have no prospects, so there aren't any names it could have been that would have bothered me too much.
