NEW YORK -- Former big league slugger Derek Dietrich has been suspended for 50 games for testing positive for a stimulant.
Dietrich, 33, is on the roster of the New York Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He last appeared in the majors with Texas in 2020.
Dietrich's suspension was one of five announced Friday by the commissioner's office for violations of the minor league drug prevention and treatment program.
Pitcher Ivan Gonzalez, who is on Toronto's Dominican Summer League roster, was suspended for 60 games without pay after testing positive for stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance.
Outfielder Karell Paz and pitcher Elvin Valerio also received 60-game suspensions.
