NEW YORK -- Baltimore third baseman Jaime Estrada and Los Angeles Angels pitcher Andrew Vinson have been suspended without pay for the first 50 games of the season under baseball's minor league drug program.

Estrada was suspended for a positive test for Strychnine, the commissioner's office said Friday. He's on the roster of the Orioles' Gulf Coast League team.

Vinson was suspended for a second positive test for a drug of abuse. He's on the roster of Burlington in the Midwest League.
