Chicago Cubs minor league pitcher Anhuar Garcia was suspended for 60 games without pay on Tuesday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, Major League Baseball announced.

The 21-year-old right-hander tested positive for methenolone, an anabolic steroid that is in violation of the Joint Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, according to MLB.

Garcia, a native of Mexico who is in his first season with the Cubs organization, is 1-3 this season with a 5.91 ERA, 14 walks and 35 strikeouts in 32 innings over seven games (six starts) for the Cubs in the Arizona Complex League.

The Cubs placed Garcia on the restricted list on Tuesday with the suspension effective immediately.
