MLB is investigating former Mets general manager Billy Eppler, who unexpectedly resigned earlier Thursday, over alleged improper use of the injured list, according to a report from Mike Puma, Joel Sherman, Jon Heyman, and Mark W. Sanchez of the New York Post.
Per the report, Eppler has yet to speak with officials from MLB in regard to the ongoing investigation, but is expected to cooperate with the probe. He resigned in order to avoid becoming a potential distraction to the organization.
Specifics of the investigation were not revealed.
