Major League Baseball has agreed to 50-game suspensions with 12 players for their roles in the Biogenesis case, multiple media reported Monday. Alex Rodriguez was expected to be served with the harshest penalty, and an announcement was expected later in the day. Initially confirmed by FoxSports.com, the players to have agreed to the suspensions without the right to appeal are:

• Nelson Cruz, Rangers outfielder

• Everth Cabrera, Padres shortstop

• Jhonny Peralta, Tigers shortstop

• Antonio Bastardo, Phillies reliever

• Francisco Cervelli, Yankees catcher

• Jesus Montero, Mariners catcher

Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun was the first player to reach an agreement with MLB on a suspension for his connection to the Biogenesis case. The 2011 NL MVP accepted a season-ending 65-game suspension last month.
