Jose D. Hernandez of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been suspended for the entire 2025 Arizona Complex League season after testing positive for banned substances, highlighting ongoing concerns about performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.
The suspension marks a significant moment for the Dodgers organization, as Hernandez becomes the first Minor League player from the team to face such repercussions since Geremias Valencia in June 2022.
In 2024 alone, 20 players were suspended for failing drug tests, emphasizing the ongoing battle against performance-enhancing drugs within baseball's Minor League system.
Hernandez's impressive 2024 stats, including a .302 batting average and four home runs, are now overshadowed by his positive PED test, raising questions about the integrity of his performance.
