Profarar on verge of 162-game PED ban after second violation
Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar faces a 162-game suspension for a second PED violation, with MLB and the union likely to pursue a grievance to an independent arbitrator. If imposed, he would miss the season and postseason and forfeit about $15 million of this year’s $42 million contract; Profar previously served an 80-game ban for hCG, and Atlanta must navigate his absence as spring training continues and replacements are considered.
