MLB shortstop Tucupita Marcano banned permanently for betting on baseball

San Diego Padres shortstop Tucupita Marcano has been permanently banned from MLB for betting more than $150,000 on baseball, according to the league.

Marcano faced the harshest penalty of several baseball players penalized by the league Tuesday. He played in at least 25 Pittsburgh Pirates games while playing for the team last year.

Oakland A’s pitcher Michael Kelly was also suspended for a year for playing baseball. He was a minor league player at the time and bet on MLB teams, which limited his penalty.
