San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar continued his career year in Tuesday's victory versus the Minnesota Twins. Profar went 1-for-4 on the evening, but his lone hit was a big one. In the bottom of the eighth inning with the Padres down two runs, Profar crushed a three-run home run to give San Diego the lead and eventually the victory. Profar was once one of the top prospects in the game, and although he has found success as a utilityman, he has never put together the season he has in 2024 as a regular. On the year, Profar is now hitting .290 with 20 homers, 76 RBI and seven stolen bases. As one of the waiver-wire gems of the 2024 season, Profar should continue to be rostered universally.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) is back in left field and is batting second for the Padres in Thursday's series finale against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Luis L. Ortiz. It's great news for fantasy managers after Profar was forced from Wednesday's extra-inning win after he was hit by a pitch in the right knee in the top of the sixth inning. Thankfully, X-rays on the 31-year-old's knee came back negative, and he's good to go the very next day. Fantasy managers will obviously want to keep the All-Star outfielder in their starting lineups. In just two career at-bats against Ortiz, Profar has a solo home run. The veteran switch-hitter is having the best year of his MLB career, slashing .300/.394/.490 with 19 home runs, 71 RBI and five steals in 113 games. His .394 on-base percentage leads the league.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) was pulled from Wednesday's game against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates after getting hit in the knee by a pitch. Profar tried to stay in the contest to run the bases after falling to the ground and writhing in pain, but he was removed after showing a noticeable limp on his way to second base during a Xander Bogaerts single. By the initial looks of the injury, fantasy managers should be relieved that Profar was able to walk it off and remain in the game temporarily. Consider the 31-year-old first-time All-Star day-to-day before the Padres re-evaluate him prior to Thursday's series finale against Pittsburgh. Ha-Seong Kim (triceps) replaced Profar in the lineup on Wednesday, suggesting he'll be back in the mix for San Diego on Thursday. The switch-hitting Bryce Johnson would be in line to join the starting lineup as well if Profar needs to miss additional time.UPDATE: X-rays came back negative on Profar, according to manager Mike Shildt, and he's considered day-to-day.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar smashed two homers, including a game-winner in the top of the ninth, during the Padres' 6-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Both homers were two-run shots with the first being off Orioles starter Grayson Rodriguez in the top of the sixth inning for his 17th HR of the season. The two-run game-winner came in the top of the ninth off Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel with two outs and was his 18th of 2024. Profar's turnaround in this season has been a major boost for the Padres. His .865 OPS is a career high and is helping to keep the Padres afloat as they fight to hold onto their Wild Card spot (one game lead over St. Louis) without superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. Profar will look to continue his dominating season on Saturday against Orioles scheduled starter Dean Kremer.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar had a big game in his team's 9-7 win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Profar went 1-for-3 with two runs and a grand slam which helped break open the game and propel the Padres to the win. The veteran outfielder got the last laugh in the contest after he was hit by a pitch in his first at-bat, sparking benches to clear and an ejection for his manager Mike Shildt. Profar is putting together an excellent season for the Padres, hitting .317 with 11 homers, 45 runs, 54 RBI, and four steals across 281 at-bats. He has developed into a must-start in fantasy going forward.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) is in Sunday's lineup as the Padres look to complete a four-game sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, June 23. Profar left Friday's game early with a knee injury and sat out of Saturday's contest. However, the 31-year-old has been cleared to return and will bat in the two-hole. Before the injury, the outfielder was riding a six-game hitting streak and an overall .320/.415/.483 line through 79 games this season. He holds a stellar .297 xBA with a strong 12.9% walk rate and 15.1% K rate. He should remain in your starting lineup every week but is best to fade in DFS this afternoon as he will face Milwaukee right-hander Tobias Myers, who has posted a 0.44 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in his past 20 frames.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) was pulled for a pinch runner in the seventh inning of Friday's game against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Profar battled patellar tendinitis in his left knee earlier in June, and he didn't appear to be running well before being lifted for Jose Azocar on Friday. Consider Profar day-to-day until the Padres update his status before Saturday's clash with the Brewers, but a stint on the injured list cannot be ruled out if a prior issue has resurfaced. The 31-year-old veteran switch-hitter has made himself comfortable as San Diego's everyday left fielder and deserves to be a first-time All-Star this year, slashing. 320/.415/.483 with 10 home runs, 48 RBI, 42 runs scored, and four stolen bases through 269 at-bats.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Profar blasted a two-run shot off Shota Imanaga in the eighth inning to put the Padres on the scoreboard and tie the game 2-2. His home run traveled 385 feet with an exit velocity of 103.4 mph. The 31-year-old has been on absolute fire at the plate recently, hitting .429 (21-for-49) with four home runs, 12 RBI, 12 runs, and a stolen base over his last 13 games. Profar is slashing .338/.420/.538 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 22 runs, and two stolen bases across 150 plate appearances in 2024. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Profar in most leagues while he's swinging a hot bat.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar went 2-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Thursday's loss against the Colorado Rockies. Porfar took Nick Mears deep in the top of the seventh inning for his third homer of the season. The veteran has quietly been having a nice season for the Padres with a .295 batting average and 18 RBI. Profar should eventually regress, but he is worth riding while his bat is hot. For now, Profar is worth rostering, but managers would be wise to test the trade market and try to sell-high on the veteran. Profar will look to stay warm versus the division rival San Francisco Giants and Kyle Harrison on Friday evening.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (leg) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's Cactus League matchup against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran slugger came up limping after rounding first base in the fourth inning. He was able to walk off the field under his own power. The expectation is that Profar will undergo further testing and an update will be given following the contest. The 31-year-old was 3-for-3 with a one home run and 4 RBI before exiting the game. The expectation is that Profar is going to be the Opening Day left fielder in San Diego.

Free-agent outfielder Jurickson Profar and the San Diego Padres agreed to a one-year, $1 million deal on Monday. He can earn an extra $1.5 million in incentives in 2024 based on plate appearances. Profar was with the Padres from 2020 to 2022 before joining the Colorado Rockies as a free agent for the start of last year. The 30-year-old switch-hitter batted just .236 (98-for-415) with eight home runs and 39 RBI in 111 games for the Rockies in 2023 before going 13-for-44 (.295) with a homer and seven RBI in 14 games to close out the season with San Diego. He'll now return to the Friars, who were in desperate need of outfield help after trading Juan Soto and Trent Grisham to the Yankees in the offseason. As things stand now, Profar should have the leg up on a starting spot in left field to open the 2024 season, but his bat lacks any real upside for fantasy managers.

The San Diego Padres signed free-agent outfielder Jurickson Profar to a minor-league deal on Friday. He's expected to report to Triple-A El Paso, but he's certainly a candidate to be called up now that rosters are expanding to 28 players on Friday. Profar became a free agent when he was released by the Colorado Rockies on Sunday after hitting .236/.316/.364 with eight home runs in 111 games after signing a $7.75 million deal in 2023. He initially opted out of a deal with the Padres that included a $7.75 million player option for 2023 and a $10 million mutual option for 2024. The switch-hitter batted .244/.333/.375 with 26 homers in 345 games with the Padres from 2020 to 2021.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Slade Cecconi, playing left field and batting in the two-hole. Profar injured his left knee on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and missed the first two games of the series against Arizona as a result. The switch-hitting 30-year-old has provided very modest numbers for fantasy managers in deeper leagues in 2023 in his first year at hitter-friendly Coors Field. He's hit .241/.322/.369 with only eight home runs, 39 RBI and 49 runs scored in 398 at-bats. He's been much better at home, though, going 55-for-193 (.285) with three of his eight homers and 21 RBI in 222 trips to the plate.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 30-year-old suffered a left knee injury while tracking a fly ball onto the warning track. He was likely taken out of the game as a precaution, but is expected to undergo further testing. The hope is that it's only a minor issue, but fantasy managers should get a backup plan ready in case Profar misses significant time.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is absent from Sunday's lineup for the game against Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees. The former first-round pick has disappointed during his first season in Denver, slashing .243/.324.375 with six bombs, 38 runs, 32 RBI, and one steal over 81 contests. Michael Toglia will take his spot in the lineup, playing first base and batting sixth. The 24-year-old has played just 11 games this season at the big leagues and is batting .167 with no power or stolen bases. Fantasy managers would be wise to leave Toglia on the waiver wire, especially with Cole on the mound.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game with Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Angels. The 30-year-old veteran has disappointed in his first year in Colorado, despite the friendly confines, batting .236 with six homers, 33 runs, 27 RBI, and no steals across 69 games. Without the stolen bases, Profar has minimal value in any format, even as the primary leadoff hitter. Backstop Jorge Alfaro will take his spot in the lineup as the designated hitter, batting sixth. The former prospect is struggling again with the bat across nine games, posting a .115/.148/.308 with one home run, and he can be left on the waiver wire in all leagues.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Garrett Whitlock. The veteran hit leadoff and went 1-for-5 with a run scored alongside two strikeouts in Tuesday's extra-inning win at Fenway Park but will take a seat on Wednesday night. Profar is in the midst of a down season, hitting just .247 with five homers and a .314 wOBA across 273 trips to the plate. With park factors baked in, Profar's 81 wRC+ represents a figure 19% below the league average. Nolan Jones will take over in the leadoff spot while Randal Grichuk slides over to left field Wednesday night.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar will get back into the starting lineup Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Profar got the night off in Wednesday's 6-0 shutout loss but will re-enter the lineup out of the two-hole against D-backs right-hander Zach Davies Thursday afternoon. It's been tough sledding for the veteran so far this season as Profar is hitting just .243 with five homers and a .718 OPS across 216 plate appearances on the campaign. Such production has produced an 81 wRC+ that pegs his bat 19% below the league average. He's 0-for-5 with a strikeout in his career against Davies.

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (back), catcher Elias Diaz and outfielder Jurickson Profar are all out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. Cron left the game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies with back spasms and will likely land on the injured list on Monday. He does have six home runs and 19 RBI in 35 games so far in 2023, but he's also hitting just .228 (31-for-136). Mike Moustakas is playing first base and hitting cleanup on Monday, and he should see more playing time with Cron sidelined for a bit. Austin Wynns is catching and batting eighth, while Randal Grichuk is in left field and hitting fifth against Reds right-hander Hunter Greene.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. A well deserved day off after Profar has played in every game since joining the team on April 2. The 30-year-old hasn't hit too well, but maybe a day off will help him get back into a groove. Harold Castro will take over left field and bat seventh versus righty Trevor Williams on Saturday.
