12 players suspended

Before Alex Rodriguez's suspension is announced later today, 12 other players have been suspended because of PEDs. All of them will have 50 game suspensions and have agreed to not appeal. These players are:

Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera, Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta, Phillies pitcher Antonio Bastardo, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, Mets outfielder Jordany Valdespin, San Diego Padres pitcher Fautino De Los Santos, free-agent Jordan Norbert, and minor leaguers Cesar Puello of the Mets, Jesus Montero of the Mariners, Sergio Escalona of the Astros, and the Yankees' Fernando Martinez.

The Yankees have two players on this list, and a former player in Jesus Montero. These suspensions will not have a big effect on them, because Cervelli has been on the DL for a while and Fernando Martinez is still down in the minors.
