Last week, MLB announced more than 8,000 drug tests were administered during the 2015 season, an increase from prior years. A total of 113 therapeutic use exemptions were issued.

According to Nathaniel Vinton of the New York Daily News, one of those therapuetic use exemptions was issued to a player seeking treatment for gynecomastia, or "man boobs." No, the player has not been named. Don't count on that happening.

Here's more from Vinton:

An unnamed ballplayer is afflicted with gynecomastia, an affliction in which men develop breasts, sometimes as a side effect of hardcore steroid use. The player sought and received permission from Major League Baseball for treatment that may have included drugs that would be otherwise banned.

...

Gynecomastia, often relabeled with unprintable slang terms in locker rooms, was allegedly a problem for several well-known players caught up in baseball's steroid controversies over the last decade, including Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez.

MLB and the MLBPA have published data on the drug testing program since 2007. Tests remain confidential unless discipline is handed down.
