Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Jurickson Profar has failed a PED test for the second straight season and will now face a 162-game suspension, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Profar was also suspended last season for a violation of the MLB Joint Drug Agreement. This time around, he’ll miss the entirety of the 2026 season. 

Keep in mind that suspended players aren’t eligible for the playoffs, so even if the Braves qualify for the postseason, Profar is out until 2027. 

CBS Sports will have more on this breaking news.
