Phillies' Johan Rojas Hit With 80-Game PED Suspension, Shaping Opening Day Plans
MLB suspended Phillies center fielder Johan Rojas for 80 games after a positive test for Boldenone under the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program; the ban begins in 2026, ruling him out for at least the first half and leaving Philadelphia thinner at center field as they lean on Harrison Bader, Justin Crawford, Pedro León, and Dylan Moore to cover the position. Rojas has been strong defensively but hit only .237/.279/.312 with a 64 wRC+ since 2024, and suspensions also bar postseason eligibility for the player.
