MLB is investigating injured Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano for violating baseball’s gambling policy — with the possibility of a lifetime ban.
Major League Baseball is facing another potential gambling controversy.
Months after Shohei Ohtani’s longtime interpreter was charged with stealing $16 million from the Dodgers superstar to pay off sports gambling debts, MLB is investigating injured Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano for violating baseball’s gambling policy — with the possibility of a lifetime ban, according to a report Monday by the Wall Street Journal.
The 24-year-old Marcano has been accused of betting on games involving the Pirates, his former team, while he was on the injured list with Pittsburgh last season.
