New York Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia has been conditionally reinstated for the 2019 season, Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday.

Mejia was permanently suspended on Feb. 12, 2016, under Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. He had tested positive for boldenone, which athletes have used to increase muscle mass. It was his third positive test for performance-enhancing drugs in a one-year span.
