Three Minor League Players Suspended

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that three Minor League players have been suspended following their violations of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Cincinnati Reds Minor League right-handed pitchers David Ayala and Adolfi Telleria have each received a 25-game suspension without pay following a violation of the Program. The suspensions of Ayala and Telleria, who are both on the roster of the Dominican Summer League Reds 2, will be effective at the start of the 2015 DSL season.

Free agent Minor League right-handed pitcher Dawson Brown has received a 50-game suspension without pay following a second positive test for a drug of abuse in violation of the Program. The suspension of Brown will be effective immediately upon his signing with another Major League organization.
