Nationals' Pryor suspended 76 games

NEW YORK -- Jonathan Pryor was off to a solid start for Class A Short Season Auburn this summer, but he won't have a chance to build on it.
The Nationals outfield prospect was suspended 76 games on Wednesday after testing positive for the performance-enhancing drug Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced. 
Orioles right-hander Ruben Garcia received a 50-game ban after testing positive for Amphetamine, while Pirates right-hander Eddison Polonia was banned 72 games following a positive test for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance.

All three players were found in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Pryor was in his second season in the New York-Penn League and was batting .313/.371/.334 in 35 plate appearances. He posted a .259/.335/.340 slash line in 41 games with Auburn in 2017.

Garcia had a 5.27 ERA and eight strikeouts over 13 2/3 innings for Class A Short Season Season Aberdeen after posting a 7.79 ERA at the same level last year.
Polonia, 19, made eight relief appearances in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League and was 0-1 with one save, a 4.26 ERA, 15 strikeouts and 13 walks over 12 2/3 innings.
Fifty-nine Minor Leaguers have been suspended this year for violating the Minor or Major League drug program.
