Diamondbacks signed RHP Cesar Carrillo to a minor league contract. The former Tigers farmhand, and college teammate of Ryan Braun, was suspended 100 games last season for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. He'll look to get his career back on track in Arizona.

Tigers released RHP Cesar Carrillo. Carillo, a former college teammate of Ryan Braun, was one of the names linked to the Miami-based Biogenesis clinic and was suspended 100 games in March for violating the minor league drug program. Upon the completion of his suspension, the Tigers announced that he has been given his unconditional release. Carrillo hasn't appeared in the majors since 2009.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Cesar Carrillo's 100-game suspension is related to his name surfacing in the Biogenesis documents. The announcement from MLB noted that Carrillo violated the minor league drug policy. This is an important distinction because minor league players who are not on the 40-man roster do not have the same protection as major leaguers do. This is nothing more than speculation for now, but it's possible the suspension was levied after he refused to cooperate with MLB's investigation into the Biogenesis clinic.

Cesar Carrillo has been suspended 100 games for violating the minor league drug program.
