San Diego Padres Infielder Reportedly Facing Lifetime Ban

San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano is facing a potential lifetime ban from Major League Baseball for allegedly betting on games, sources tell ESPN. Marcano allegedly bet on multiple games involving the Pittsburgh Pirates last season when he was on their injured list. The bets that were placed are yet to be known. However, four other players are also reportedly under investigation for allegedly betting on games in the minor leagues as well.

A decision on the potential lifetime ban “could be imminent,” according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
