The Los Angeles Dodgers had a second Minor League pitcher suspended this season for a positive PED test, when Triple-A Oklahoma City right-hander Jair Jurrjens received an 80-game ban. He tested positive for exogenous testosterone.
Oklahoma City had 77 games remaining on their schedule at the time of the announcement. Thus, should Jurrjens elect to pitch next season and latch on with a Major League club or Minor League affiliate, he’ll be required to miss three games to complete the suspension.
Jurrjens issued a statement on Instagram to apologize and explain what led to his frustration:
In April I was notified that I tested positive during a routine drug test.
