NEW YORK (AP) — Chicago Cubs pitcher Anhuar
Garcia was suspended for 60 games Tuesday by Major League
Baseball under the minor league drug program following a
positive test for the performance-enhancing substance
Methenolone.
A 21-year-old right-hander, Garcia was 1-3 with a 5.91 ERA in
six starts and one relief appearance this year for the Arizona
Complex League Cubs.
He signed with the Cubs on Dec. 15 for a $10,000 bonus.
Garcia is the seventh player suspended this year for a positive
test, the fifth under minor league programs. Atlanta Braves
outfielder Jurickson Profar was suspended for 80 games on March
31 and Philadelphia Phillies closer José Alvarado for 80 games
on May 25 under the major league program.
