Another MLB player is facing a suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs.

Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas failed a test for PEDs, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported Tuesday.

He is appealing the test.

Players who violate the league’s drug policy for the first time face an 80-game suspension.

The news comes as Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar faces a 162-game suspension for testing positive for PEDs for the second time in as many years.

Profar was suspended for 80 games last year for violating the league’s drug policy.

Rojas, unless he wins his appeal, will be the second Phillies player to be suspended for PEDs over the past year.

Reliever Jose Alvarado tested positive in May of last season and served an 80-game suspension.

He was also ineligible to pitch in the postseason.

Max Kepler, who played with the Phillies last year but became a free agent and is no longer with the team, tested positive in January and was handed an 80-game suspension.

Rojas, 25, was battling for a roster spot with the Phillies.

A strong fielder who has struggled to establish himself at the plate, he played in 71 games last year for the Phillies and hit .224 with a .569 OPS.

He was set to play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, but did not report with the rest of his teammates over the weekend amid the failed test.

Rojas will still be allowed to play spring training games as his appeal process plays out, though it’s unclear if that’s the Phillies’ plan.
