The MLB has yet to announce the official penalty but according to rule 21, any player who bets on his own team is subject to a lifetime ban.
There has been no additional information as to if he was betting on the Pirates to win or lose.
Marcano has yet to play this season with the Padres as he was still recovering from a season ending injury from last year.
