Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has been suspended 162 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs for the second time, according to multiple reports Tuesday.

The 33-year-old player previously served a PED suspension in 2025, making this his second violation since joining the Braves organization. Under MLB's drug policy, second-time offenders face automatic full-season suspensions.

The suspension will effectively sideline Profar for the entire 2026 season. He will also forfeit his $15 million salary for that year and be ineligible for postseason play. Additionally, Profar will miss the upcoming World Baseball Classic, where he was scheduled to represent the Netherlands.

The Braves issued an official statement regarding the suspension Tuesday, though the team's specific comments were not detailed in initial reports. Profar has been a key offensive player for Atlanta since signing with the organization.

The suspension represents a significant blow to the Braves' lineup planning for the 2026 season. MLB has not yet announced whether Profar will appeal the suspension, though players typically have that option under the league's drug agreement.
