Mets minor leaguer catcher Dock Doyle and right-hander Scott Moviel have been suspended 50 games apiece after testing positive for a second time for a "drug of abuse," Major League Baseball announced.
Another Mets right-hander, Brandon Moore, was suspended by MLB in September for a "drug of abuse" -- which is not performance-enhancing drug use.
Doyle, 25, hit .296 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 71 at-bats with Class A St. Lucie last season.
Moviel, who stands 6-foot-11, went 5-10 with a 5.10 ERA in 26 appearances (23 starts) for the same Florida State League team.
