BALTIMORE -- Yankees minor league pitcher Wilking Rodrguez received an 80-game suspension without pay Wednesday for testing positive for a banned substance.
Furosemide was found in Rodriguez's system, Major League Baseball said in a statement.
Rodriguez is on the Yankees' Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roster and was at major league spring training. He appeared in two games for the Royals last season.
