The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced that both has been suspended for 50 games following their violations of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Both suspensions are effective immediately.

Kinney has been sidelined since June 13, when the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies placed him on the 7-Day Disabled List. He had appeared in seven games with Fresno, going 0-2 with a 9.64 ERA.
