San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano reportedly facing lifetime ban for betting on baseball

San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano is facing a potential lifetime ban from Major League Baseball for allegedly betting on games, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Though specifics aren't yet known, the decision on the ban "could be imminent."

Marcano, 24, has not played for the Padres this season. He went down with a right ACL injury late last season when he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he's been recovering ever since. The Padres then signed him to a one-year deal this past offseason.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.
