Bears lose key pass rusher Montez Sweat to two-game PED suspension

The Chicago Bears will be without starting defensive end Montez Sweat for the next two games after the NFL suspended him without pay for violating its performance-enhancing substance policy. The 30-year-old, who has started all five games this season, will miss matchups against the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots before returning for Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. This absence compounds existing depth issues at the defensive end position for Chicago.

Rainout reshapes D-backs rotation as Kepler returns from suspension

Arizona's rain-delayed game with the St. Louis Cardinals forced a reshuffled pitching plan and travel, while Max Kepler returned from an 80-game PED suspension and will likely serve as a left fielder and DH against right-handed pitching; Ryne Nelson was moved to the 60-day IL, and the club prepared for a Tampa Bay series as rotation spots were adjusted.

Braves face outfield gap as Profar 162-game PED suspension looms

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.

Braves pledge support for MLB drug policy after Profar PED suspension

The Atlanta Braves released an official statement expressing disappointment in Jurickson Profar’s 162-game suspension for a second PED positive and reaffirmed their support for MLB’s Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The suspension, which begins March 6, 2026, comes after Profar previously missed 80 games this season; the Braves will not pay his 2026 salary or payroll taxes and he remains ineligible for postseason. ESPN’s Jeff Passan broke the news, and MLB issued its own statement confirming the ban.

Braves’ Profar Hit With 162-Game PED Suspension, MLBPA to Appeal

Braves’ Profar Hit With 162-Game PED Suspension, MLBPA to Appeal

Jurickson Profar faces a 162-game PED suspension, his second failed test, which would erase the 2026 season, postseason eligibility, and WBC participation; the MLBPA plans to challenge the ruling. The 33-year-old was already suspended for 80 games last year and would incur a lifetime ban on a third positive test. Under a three-year, $42M Braves contract, he won’t be paid this season and could be placed on the restricted list, saving Atlanta roughly $18M in payroll/tax. The Braves’ outfield and rotation could be reshaped as they balance the suspension with injuries to pitchers and potential in-season additions, aided by Mike Yastrzemski and a core group including Harris II and Acuña Jr. Changes in the roster and payroll strategy are anticipated as the team evaluates next steps.

Ryan Garcia has been suspended for one year by the New York State Athletic Commission after testing positive for the performance-enhancing drug ostarine, retroactive to his April 20 fight against Devin Haney. Garcia's victory has been overturned to a no-contest, and he has forfeited his $1.2 million purse and been fined $10,000.

Garcia may seek to fight internationally during his suspension, which lasts until April 20, 2025.
