Hoping to clear the air following his suspension for a positive drug test, San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal addressed his teammates Saturday prior to the team's first full-squad workout of the spring. Grandal was banned last November for the first 50 games of the season after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. He is eligible to return May 28 at Seattle. "I have taken full responsibility for my actions and apologized to my teammates," he said in a statement. "I plan to put that mistake behind me, serve my suspension and continue working hard to be the best player and teammate I can be."
