Major League Baseball suspended Atlanta Braves designated hitter Jurickson Profar for 162 games on Tuesday after he tested positive for exogenous testosterone and its metabolites. This marks his second violation of the league's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, following an 80-game ban in 2025. The suspension, effective Friday, March 6, bars him from the entire 2026 season, postseason, and the World Baseball Classic.
