Noelvi Marte has received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance.

Marte made his debut for the Cincinnati Reds last season, hitting .316 with three homers in 35 games.

"The Reds fully support Major League Baseball's drug policy and its penalties," the team said in a statement. "We will have no further comment."

Marte was acquired in 2022 in the trade that sent pitcher Luis Castillo to the Seattle Mariners. He is ranked 35th in ESPN's Kiley McDaniel's top 100 prospects heading into this season.
