Major League Baseball announced it has suspended Toronto Blue Jays top hitting prospect Orelvis Martinez 80 games for violating the league's performance enhancing drugs policy.
Martinez tested positive for a banned fertility drug that alters testosterone levels in men called Clomiphene.
He will be eligible to return to action in September.
"We were both surprised and disappointed to learn of Orelvis Martinez's suspension. We will do everything in our power to ensure Orelvis has learned from this mistake. Orelvis has our support, and we know he will get through this," Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said.
The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) released a statement on behalf of Orelvis Martinez.
