Jurickson Profar to Join Venezuelan Winter League Following Suspension

Atlanta Braves hitter Jurickson Profar will play for Los Tiburones de La Guaira in the Venezuelan Winter League this offseason. Profar missed the entire 2026 season serving his second PED suspension, bringing his total missed time to 243 games over two years. Still under contract but facing uncertain status with Atlanta, he aims to rebuild goodwill and demonstrate readiness after posting a .245/.353/.434 line with 14 home runs in 80 games during the 2025 campaign.
