Wed Mar 1317:37Jurickson Profar Exits Early During Wednesday's Game
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.

Mon Feb 1212:08Jurickson Profar Returns To Padres
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.

Fri Sep 1 202312:55Jurickson Profar Back With Padres On Minor-League Deal
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.

Wed Aug 16 202312:32Jurickson Profar Returns To Rockies Lineup
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.

Sun Aug 13 202319:15Jurickson Profar Exits Early On Sunday
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.

Sun Jul 16 202314:13Jurickson Profar Out Of Sunday's Lineup
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.

Sun Jun 25 202314:07Jurickson Profar Sitting On Sunday
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.

Wed Jun 14 202314:51Jurickson Profar On The Bench Wednesday
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.

Thu Jun 1 202314:18Jurickson Profar Returns To The Starting Lineup Thursday
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.

Mon May 15 202315:29C.J. Cron, Elias Diaz, Jurickson Profar Resting
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.

Sat Apr 8 202316:59Jurickson Profar To Rest On Saturday
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.

Thu Apr 6 202314:23Jurickson Profar Hitting Leadoff Again Thursday
Colorado Rockies outfielder/second baseman Jurickson Profar is hitting leadoff again in Thursday's contest versus the Washington Nationals. Thursday marks the fourth game of the season for Profar and the fourth time he's hit out of the leadoff spot as the trend continues. Signed late in spring training, Profar has scuffled out of the gate in the regular season as he's just 1-for-11 with a walk across 12 trips to the plate. The switch-hitting veteran hit .243 with 15 home runs, five steals, and a .722 OPS across 135 games last season with the San Diego Padres. He and the Rockies take on Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray as it's Opening Day at Coors Field in Denver this afternoon.

Sun Apr 2 202313:39Jurickson Profar Batting Leadoff On Sunday
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is starting in left field and batting leadoff against the San Diego Padres in Sunday's series finale. The 30-year-old outfielder signed with the Rockies on March 19th and needed some extra time to work out a visa issue and ramp up his baseball activities. The Rockies are wasting no time and have him leading off against his former team on Sunday. He has some fantasy appeal if he can remain atop the Colorado lineup, especially with playing half of his games at Coors Field.

Thu Mar 30 202318:42Jurickson Profar Not With Rockies For Opening Day
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is not with the team for Opening Day. He is not able to be replaced on the active roster. Profar just signed with the Rockies two weeks ago and had visa issues resolved two days ago. He didn't play in any Spring Training games for the Rockies, though he did play for Team Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic. It's not known when Profar will join the team, but when he does, he will be a decent deeper league option while playing half his games at Coors Field.

Tue Mar 28 202314:11Jurickson Profar Has Visa Issues Resolved
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar has had his visa issues resolved and is on his way to join the team in Arizona. The Rockies also optioned Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. Profar didn't actually play in any spring training games for Colorado after just signing a one-year deal with the team last weekend. The 30-year-old did play in the World Baseball Classic for Team Netherlands, though, and he could be in the Opening Day lineup for his new team on Thursday against his previous club, the San Diego Padres. Profar doesn't have any one skill that stands out for fantasy managers, but moving to hitter-friendly Coors Field was probably the best possible outcome for his fantasy value in deeper mixed leagues.

Sun Mar 19 202315:04Jurickson Profar Signs With Rockies
The Colorado Rockies signed utility fielder Jurickson Profar to a one-year, $8.75 million deal. Profar is guaranteed $7.75 million and can earn another million if he reaches 400 plate appearances. The 30-year-old is expected to serve as the Rockies left fielder while batting leadoff in 2023. He was one of the last free agents to be signed, despite a fruitful 2022 campaign with the San Diego Padres. Profar slashed .243/.331/.391 with 15 HRs and a .723 OPS. He put together a memorable Wild Card Series against the Mets, after posting a 1.012 OPS with four plated runs in the series. If the Curacao native can continue to contribute offensively, he could be a valuable investment in deep league formats.

Sat Mar 11 202300:21Rockies Looking At Jurickson Profar
With injuries to Colorado Rockies outfielders Sean Bouchard (biceps) and Randal Grichuk (hernia) this spring, the Rockies are showing renewed interest in signing free-agent outfielder/infielder Jurickson Profar, according to a source. Charlie Blackmon (back) was also injured in Friday's Cactus League game. The 30-year-old switch-hitter slashed .243/.331/.391 with 15 home runs in 152 games for the San Diego Padres last year, and he is currently playing for Team Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic. Profar has likely been demanding regular playing time as a free agent this offseason, and that's something Colorado could give him as they look for injury replacements. His defensive shortcomings hurt his cause, but he's patient at the plate and makes plenty of contact. Profar would become attractive in deep mixed leagues if he landed with the Rockies with regular playing time.

Tue Feb 28 202315:50Jurickson Profar To Play In World Baseball Classic
Free-agent outfielder Jurickson Profar will play for Team Netherlands in the 2023 World Baseball Classic despite remaining on the open market. Profar could attract more interest before the 2023 regular season if he plays well in the tournament. The 30-year-old switch-hitter also has plenty of experience in the infield, but he was mostly an outfield regular for the San Diego Padres in 2022. In 152 games played, he hit .243/.331/.391 with a .723 OPS, 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 82 runs scored and five stolen bases in 658 plate appearances for the Friars. At this point, it seems unlikely that Profar will be able to find an everyday starting role in the outfield for a team unless an injury opens up a spot.

Fri Jan 20 202313:07Yankees Have Discussed Jurickson Profar
The New York Yankees have discussed signing free-agent infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar, but the Yankees are also adamant about staying under the "Steve Cohen tax" threshold of $293 million. They are currently at around $290 million. In addition to Profar, the Yankees have also checked in on Josh Harrison. The 29-year-old Profar reached free agency after declining his $8.33 million player option with the San Diego Padres for 2023. He became the Friars' everyday left field option in 2022 and hit .243/.331/.391 with a .723 OPS, 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 82 runs scored and five stolen bases in 152 games. Profar's bat might be slightly more attractive at Yankee Stadium, but he also wouldn't be guaranteed the playing time that he saw in San Diego.

Tue Jan 17 202300:34Red Sox Express Interest In Elvis Andrus, Jurickson Profar
USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Monday that the Boston Red Sox have "expressed interest" in free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus and free-agent second baseman/outfielder Jurickson Profar. The team will be without Trevor Story (elbow) for several months at least, as he recovers from elbow surgery, and they no longer have Xander Bogaerts, so either or both players would provide depth. Andrus had a surprise 2022 season, slashing .249/.303/.404 with 17 home runs, 58 RBI and 18 stolen bases with the Athletics and White Sox. Profar slashed .243/.331/.391 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI and five stolen bases with the Padres. The Red Sox's lineup will not be as strong as it historically has been, and while either player could provide speed with some power, they would be, at best, late-round rotisserie picks if they signed.
