flag Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar will miss the entire 2026 season and postseason after MLB upheld his 162-game suspension for a second positive test for exogenous testosterone and its metabolites. flag The suspension, resulting from a violation of MLB’s joint drug program, follows a prior 80-game ban in 2025 for testing positive for human chorionic gonadotropin. flag Profar, 33, forfeits his $15 million salary for the year and remains under contract through 2027. flag This marks the sixth full-season PED ban since MLB strengthened penalties for repeat offenders in 2014, with a third violation carrying a lifetime ban. flag The Braves announced they will adapt to the loss, with Profar expected to transition to designated hitter after undergoing sports hernia surgery.
