Four MLB players testified Tuesday that they had acquired oxycodone from Kay during their careers.

The players called to the stand included first baseman C.J. Cron, now with the Colorado Rockies, and three pitchers, including free agents Matt Harvey and Mike Morin, and Cam Bedrosian of the Philadelphia Phillies.

A medical pathologist also testified that Skaggs had oxycodone in his system from previous use, but the drug that killed him was fentanyl.
