Johan Rojas receives 80-game suspension from MLB after appeal loss

Johan Rojas, outfielder for the Philadelphia Phillies, has been suspended for 80 games without pay by Major League Baseball after testing positive for the banned substance Boldenone. Rojas’ appeal was unsuccessful, resulting in his removal from the Dominican Republic’s World Baseball Classic roster. The 25-year-old, who has struggled offensively, will not be eligible to play until the second half of the MLB season, including any potential playoff games if the Phillies qualify.
