NEW YORK — Two more minor league ballplayers were suspended for positive drug tests today.

Cincinnati Reds minor league pitcher Renny Amador and Arizona Diamondbacks minor league shortstop Bernardino Jimenez each received a 50-game ban after testing positive for performance-enhancing steroids. Both players are in the Rookie level Dominican Summer League.

The suspensions, which are effective immediately, brought the number of minor leaguers receiving drug bans to 11 since last Friday, July 25.

Amador has only pitched 2 2-3 innings this season. Jimenez, in 45 games this season, is hitting .164, but with a .320 on-base percentage and five steals in eight attempts.
