PHOENIX – Giants Triple-A pitcher Jose Dominguez was suspended 142 games without pay after testing positive for a performance enhancing drug, Major League Baseball announced on Thursday.
Dominguez was in major league camp with the Giants this spring after signing as a minor league free agent and was among the final cuts, but was not a serious contender to make the opening day roster.
He tested positive for metabolites of Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid, the league announced. It was his second positive test for a banned performance enhancer.
The Giants already had moved to replace Dominguez when they signed right-hander Ryan Webb to a minor league contract a few days after the Milwaukee Brewers released him.
