SF's Dominguez among five suspensions

NEW YORK -- San Francisco right-hander José Domínguez was one of five Minor Leaguers who received suspensions under the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program on Thursday.

The 26-year-old reliever, who spent the 2016 season in the San Diego organization before the Giants signed him as a Minor League free agent and assigned him to Triple-A Sacramento in November, received a 142-game ban after his second positive test for a performance-enhancing substance when metabolites of Stanozolol were found in his system.
Dominguez split his time between the Minors and the Majors last season, making 27 appearances out of the bullpen for Triple-A El Paso and going 3-3 with a 3.79 ERA. He joined the big league club July 1 and pitched in 34 games, going 1-0 with a 5.05 ERA.
New York Yankees left-hander Miguel Sulbaran was suspended 25 games for an undisclosed violation. The 23-year-old starter went 3-5 with a 4.77 ERA in 14 starts for Double-A Trenton last season.
