The tragic death of Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs has prompted the MLB and MLBPA to discuss the possibility of randomly testing athletes for opioids, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The discussions are expected to continue throughout the regular season and into the offseason, per Passan. Opioids are on the league's banned substance list, but the league does not currently test for them.
An autopsy from the Tarrant County (Texas) medical examiner's office revealed that Skaggs had oxycodone and fentanyl in his blood at the time of his death.
