I ran across this news item and did not see it mentioned elsewhere on TD.

From the article:

Veteran reliever Ian Krol was among four Minor League players suspended for drug-related violations by Major League Baseball on Friday. Krol, who signed with the Twins in June and is currently with Triple-A Rochester, was suspended 50 games without pay after his second positive test for a drug of abuse under the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. [The other three, none in the Twins organization] all received 72-game suspensions after each pitcher tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug Stanozolol.

 

Last Saturday we saw word that Krol had been placed on Rochester's Inactive List. Apparently that was a prelude to this league action.
