Veteran outfielder Jurickson Profar tested positive for chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a banned substance, and will serve an 80-game suspension. The Braves are disappointed but support the MLB’s joint drug prevention and treatment program. With Profar out, the team will have to find alternative solutions, including platooning in right field and potentially using Alex Verdugo. The news comes at a challenging time for the team, which is struggling after a brutal opening weekend that saw them swept by the San Diego Padres.
