Philadelphia, USA – Dominican outfielder Johan Rojas of the Philadelphia Phillies is facing a situation that could have significant consequences for his career. According to reports, Rojas tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance.
This situation will prevent him from participating in the 2026 World Baseball Classic and could lead to a sanction from Major League Baseball.
The news arose when the patrolman did not show up with the rest of the Dominican Republic Baseball Selection team during the start of their concentration, which raised questions about their participation in the tournament.
Subsequently, Rojas’ positive test for a banned substance was confirmed, which automatically excludes him from the international event and could affect his situation for the upcoming Major League Baseball season.
Rojas has been part of the Phillies’ roster for the last three seasons, standing out mainly for his outfield defense. Last season, his batting average was .224.
The situation arises at a time of internal competition for positions in the Phillies’ gardens for next season, where the team has established players.
It is expected that in the coming hours MLB will officially announce the corresponding sanction after confirming the violation of the anti-doping program.
