Jurickson Profar Dealing With Bone Bruise
1 month agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar's (wrist) CT scan revealed that he's dealing with a bone in his left wrist, and the expectation is that he will be ready for Opening Day later this month, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman. It's great news for the Braves and for any fantasy managers that may have selected Profar in drafts already after his career year with the San Diego Padres in 2024 in which he hit .280/.380/.459 with an .839 OPS, a career-high 24 home runs, 85 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 94 runs scored in 668 trips to the plate and 158 regular-season games. It landed him a three-year, $42 million deal in Atlanta, where he'll be their starting left fielder in 2025. Can Profar even come close to repeating that performance with the Braves? It's debatable, but his lack of speed and high-end power make him vulnerable, which is why he shouldn't be considered anything more than a No. 3 fantasy outfielder.
