TL;DR

Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has been handed a 162-game suspension for testing positive for a performance‑enhancing drug, likely sidelining him for the 2026 season and forcing the team to explore internal and external options to fill the outfield. The Players Association plans to challenge the suspension, and the grievance process could delay any ban as MLB’s drug program reviews the case. The piece also notes other MLB PED suspensions and related roster considerations.
