Dutch right-hander Jair Jurrjens tested positive for
exogenous testosterone and got suspended for 80 games by Major League Baseball.
The 31-year-old, who played for the Netherlands in the
2017 World Baseball Classic, had signed a minor league contract with the Los
Angeles Dodgers this past spring training. Last year he played in the Chinese
Professional Baseball League in Taiwan.
He last pitched on June 7, allowing four runs in just
two innings against Iowa. There are 77 games remaining in Oklahoma City’s
season, so Jurrjens is done for 2017, and his suspension will carry over three
games into 2018.
Following the announcement by MLB, Jurrjens posted
this message on his Instagram page:
