Profar Faces Season Suspension After Second PED Test; Braves Disappointed

Jurickson Profar of the Atlanta Braves is facing a potential full-season suspension for 2026 after reportedly failing his second drug test for performance-enhancing drugs. The MLBPA plans to challenge MLB's decision. This follows a prior PED-related sanction within the last year. Manager Walt Weiss expressed disappointment but confidence that 'someone's gonna step up.' Profar's 2024 season was also marred by an 80-game suspension for PEDs.
