Two New York Yankees pitchers and one Chicago Cubs pitcher from the Dominican Summer League were each suspended 50 games Friday for testing positive for banned performance-enhancing drugs under baseball's minor league program.

Justo Arias and Rafael Martinez of the Yankees tested positive for metabolites of stanozolol. Jhon Rodriguez of the Cubs tested positive for metabolites of nandrolone.

All three suspensions will begin at the start of next season.

A total of 41 minor leaguers have received bans since July 25, including 33 from the Dominican Summer League.
