New York Mets relief pitcher Jenrry Mejia was suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball on Saturday after testing positive for the performance-enhancing substance Stanozolol. This is the fourth penalty for a positive Stanozolol test reported by MLB in less than a month, following Minnesota pitcher Ervin Santana, Seattle pitcher David Rollins and Atlanta pitcher Arodys Vizcaino. Mejia began the season as New York's closer, but he was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with posterior elbow inflammation, without having pitched in a game.
