Milwaukee Brewers pitcher J.C. Mejía has been suspended for 162 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for the performance-enhancing substance Stanozolol. This is the second time in 16 months that Mejía has tested positive for the banned substance. He will not be paid during the suspension, and a third positive test would result in a lifetime ban.
The Milwaukee Brewers have made several roster moves, including designating Mike Brosseau for assignment and selecting J.C. Mejía. Brosseau, who has had a mixed performance in his career, has struggled at the plate this season. Mejía, who was acquired from Cleveland in 2022, has been pitching well in Triple-A. The Brewers made these moves to bolster their bullpen ahead of the All-Star break. Additionally, they released left-hander Thomas Pannone, who had been designated for assignment.
