Fantasy Impact:
Major League Baseball will suspend Profar for 162 games following a second positive PED test. The suspension will cost him the entire 2026 season. Profar was slated to serve as the Braves' primary designated hitter. The organization could utilize multiple players in that role or pursue external options. Sean Murphy is recovering from a hip injury.
