A major controversy has shaken MLB as the new season, which began late last month, gets underway.
The Atlanta Braves will be without their star outfielder, Jurickson Profar, for a substantial period.
Profar has been handed an 80-game suspension after testing positive for human chorionic gonadotropin, a banned substance. The 32-year-old athlete denies the accusation and plans to appeal the ruling, though his chances of success appear slim.
The suspension is effective immediately, meaning Profar will miss today’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In other news, it was recently revealed that the son of tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf has joined Germany’s national baseball team.
