Braves Outfielder Profar Suspended 80 Games | JQJO

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar will serve an 80-game suspension without pay, starting Monday, after testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing drug. Profar, who signed a three-year, $42 million deal this past January, expressed his devastation and insisted he never knowingly cheated. His absence will significantly impact the Braves, already struggling after a four-game sweep and with Ronald Acuña Jr. injured. Profar will be eligible to return June 29th but will miss the 2025 postseason.
