Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas is appealing an alleged 80-game suspension for a performance-enhancing substance violation, according to ESPN reports. MLB's drug agreement mandates an appeals hearing before any public announcement of discipline. Rojas, 25, was demoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on August 1st and didn't play for Philadelphia again last season.

He hit .224 with one homer, 18 RBIs, and 12 stolen bases in 2025 before being sent down. His spring training performance was poor, going 1-for-11. Rojas has a .252 career average with six homers, 73 RBIs, and 51 stolen bases over 250 games.

The Dominican Republic's World Baseball Classic team dropped him following the report. Rojas' suspension appeal could impact the Phillies' outfield depth for the 2026 season.
