New York Yankees minor league pitcher Wilking Rodriguez has been suspended 80 games for PED use, according to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal.

Rodriguez tested positive for Furosemide, which is a performance-enhancing substance that violates the minor-league drug prevention and treatment program.

Rodriguez pitched just two innings for the Kansas City Royals last season. He was scheduled to pitch for the Yankees triple-A affiliation Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
