For the second time this season, a Brewers player has been suspended for a positive PED test. The Brewers announced today that reliever J.C. Mejia has received an 80-game suspension for a positive test for PEDs. As a corresponding move, the Brewers selected the contract of Trevor Kelley from Triple-A Nashville.
J.C. Mejia was signed in the offseason as a minor-league addition, after pitching for Cleveland as a starter in 2021. After a strong start to the season in Triple-A Nashville (0.84 ERA, 15 K in 10.2 IP), he was added to the major league roster on May 10.
