In a news release, MLB said he tested positive
for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance.
His suspension is without pay and begins at the start of the
2020 regular season.
"We support MLB's Joint Drug Agreement and the penalties for
violating that policy," the Diamondbacks said in a team
statement. "We were disappointed to learn of this news and hope
that Domingo will take the time away from the game to reflect on
his actions and learn from his mistakes."
Leyba, 24, is one of the top prospects in Arizona's system. He
made his major league debut in 2019, appearing in 21 games and
batting .280. In 25 at-bats, he had seven hits, including two
doubles and a triple, but struck out nine times. He also had
five RBIs.
