Jurickson Profar of the Atlanta Braves faces a full-season suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, marking a troubling continuation from his previous 80-game ban last year. This news broke just before he was set to lead off a World Baseball Classic exhibition game for the Netherlands. The incident prompted reflections on past MLB PED controversies, with Rafael Palmeiro’s suspension after his Congressional testimony cited as particularly shocking. Meanwhile, today’s baseball action features a matchup between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox at 1:05 p.m. EST.
