Giants prospect Sonny Vargas suspended 60 games

With MLB in a league-induced lockout, there’s not a whole lot of San Francisco Giants news going around. And unfortunately, what little news there is happens to currently be negative.

On Friday, MLB announced that Giants pitching prospect Sonny Vargas had been suspended for 60 games due to the use of Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing drug. It’s the same drug that resulted in an 80-game suspension for Gregory Santos last summer.

Three @MiLB players have been suspended without pay following their violations of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
