Just hours after it was reported that outfielder Jurickson Profar was facing a 162-game suspension following a second positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, the Braves addressed the news in a statement on Tuesday.
“We were incredibly disappointed to learn that Jurickson tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance and is in violation of MLB's Drug Prevention and Treatment Program,” the club said in the statement. “Our players are consistently educated about the Program and the consequences if they are found to be in violation. The Atlanta Braves fully support the Program.”
