Prosecutors have recommended the five-time All-Star and 2002 AL MVP get probation and avoid prison time.
Thursday's hearing is at the same federal courthouse where a grand jury has been meeting to determine whether Roger Clemens should be indicted on charges of lying to Congress about whether he used steroids and human growth hormone.
Tejada pleaded guilty last month to one count of making misrepresentations to Congress, which carries a maximum sentence of a year imprisonment and a fine up to $100,000. Tejada says he withheld information about an ex-teammate's use of drugs.
