New York Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia made his second appearance today in the Dominic Summer League as he hopes to work his way back to the major leagues.
The 28-year-old Mejia threw three scoreless innings today allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out seven for the DSL Mets1 squad. He now has seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts in two DSL starts.
On July 6, it was announced by MLB commissioner Robert Manfred that Mejia was granted a conditional reinstatement from his lifetime ban. He received the ban in 2016 following his third positive test for performance enhancing drugs.
If Mejia complies with certain conditions established by the commissioner, Mejia and the Players Association, Mejia will be reinstated from the Restricted List and will be eligible to resume all baseball activities beginning with the 2019 Spring Training.
Mejia has a 3.68 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 28 saves in 183 career innings with the Mets.
