Blue Jays minor-leaguer suspended for using banned substance

Canadian Press

NEW YORK — Toronto Blue Jays minor-league catcher Jonathan Jaspe was suspended 50 games Friday after testing positive for nandrolone metabolites, a performance-enhancing substance.

The 23-year-old Venezuelan, signed as an undrafted free agent in 2003, is currently in his second season with the single-A Lansing Lugnuts.

In 12 games, he's batting .341 with a homer and 12 RBIs.
