New York, NY (Sports Network) - Major League Baseball announced a nearly one-
year suspension for Texas prospect Jairo Beras after Beras provided a false

Beras, from the Dominican Republic, will still have his contract with the
Rangers approved, but will be suspended from official games until July 1,
2013.
He will be allowed to participate in workouts and practices during his
suspension, but will not receive his minor league salary.
