Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Elniery Garcia was suspended 80 games Friday for violating Major League Baseball's policy against performance-enhancing drugs. 

According to Dan Linden of ABC News, MLB announced in a statement that Garcia tested positive for Boldenone.

The 22-year-old Garcia was recently placed on the seven-day disabled list at Double-A Reading due to shoulder fatigue.

He made 19 starts at High-A Clearwater last season, posting a 12-4 mark with a 2.68 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 91 strikeouts in 117.2 innings pitched.

MLB.com ranks the Dominican lefty as the No. 18 prospect in the Phillies' system.
