Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug, ESPN reports.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports Profar now faces a full 162-game suspension.
This is a developing story. We’re working to get a statement from the Braves for on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4:00 p.m.
This is the second time that Profar has tested positive for a banned substance since he signed with the Braves.
Profar claimed he accidentally took something that had a banned substance in it. MLB issued Profar an 80-game suspension last year.
Channel 2’s Alison Mastrangelo attended spring training workouts in Florida last month. She asked Profar if he did anything this offseason to make sure a mix-up doesn’t happen again.
He said he did. Profar and the Braves have not commented as of Tuesday afternoon.
