Aug 3, 2023; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher J.C. Mejia (36) delivers a pitch against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the eighth inning at American Family Field.
The latest suspension of Mejia, who last May was given an 80-game ban after testing positive for Stanozolol, is effective immediately, MLB said in a statement.
Mejia, a 27-year-old right-hander acquired from Cleveland in November 2021, appeared in nine games for the Brewers this year before being shut down in August due to shoulder inflammation.
In nine appearances out of the Brewers bullpen this season Mejia allowed 15 hits and seven earned runs in 11-1/3 innings of action.
The Brewers, who lead the National League Central division, placed Mejia on the 15-day injured list in August and last week transferred him to the 60-day IL.
