Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright has been suspended for 80 games after testing positive for HGH. Why would a knuckleballer need steroids?
It's a myth that HGH and steroids are only used to add bulk and muscle. It's used to recover.

Endurance, recovery, cheating to get back into good shape

Yeah, I hadnt thought of it that way. Still, though, it is perplexing that he would need that much of a boost to recover.... the whole thing with knucklers is that they can pitch forever. Maybe has something to do with his past injuries.

Injuries and age. He's had quite a few injuries and the steroid era I think has distorted our idea of how baseball players actually age.
