Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas facing 80-game suspension for failed PED test
Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Johan Rojas is reportedly facing an 80-game suspension after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Johan Rojas is facing an 80-game suspension after reportedly testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, according to multiple reports.
The suspension, if upheld, would sideline Rojas for approximately half of the 2026 Major League Baseball season. According to reports, Rojas is appealing the ruling.
As a result of the pending discipline, Rojas has been removed from the Dominican Republic's roster for the World Baseball Classic. The timing of his removal from the international competition appears to be directly related to the failed drug test.
The 80-game suspension length is consistent with MLB's standard penalty for a first-time offense involving performance-enhancing drugs under the league's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Rojas, who plays center field for the Phillies, would miss a significant portion of the upcoming season if the suspension is upheld through the appeals process. The appeals procedure allows players to continue playing until a final determination is made on their case.
