NEW YORK (AP) — Seattle Mariners right-hander Yeury Tatiz was suspended for 80 games and Boston Red Sox right-hander Charlie Zink for 56 games following positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs.

Tatiz was suspended for a positive test for Clomiphene under the minor league drug program, the commissioner’s office said Friday. Zink was disciplined for a positive test for Stanozolol under the drug program for minor league players assigned outside of the United States and Canada.

Tatiz, 23, is 1-2 with a 3.00 ERA in 21 relief appearances this year for Class A Modesto.
