If Alex Rodriguez were to attend spring training next month despite his suspension, the Yankees could relegate him to the team's minor league facility, baseball officials told ESPNNewYork.com on Sunday.

Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz has notified both Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association of his ruling that New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will be suspended for a period that includes 162 regular season games in the 2014 regular season as well as the entire 2014 Postseason.

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that Twins Minor League second baseman Eddie Rosario has received a 50-game suspension without pay after a second positive test for a drug of abuse in violation of the Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

The suspension of Rosario, who is currently on the roster of Double-A New Britain Rock Cats of the Eastern League, will be effective at the start of the 2014 season.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Carlos Ramirez has been suspended 100 games for a third positive test for a drug of abuse in violation of baseball's minor league drug program.

Ramirez, who will turn 26 in March, served a 50-game suspension for his second offense at the start of last season.
