Jurickson Profar Not Playing Wednesday
6 months agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) is not in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Oakland Athletics. It will be the first time this season that Profar hasn't been in the starting lineup for the Friars, and it comes after he was removed from Tuesday night's walk-off win early due to left-knee soreness. Apparently, the 31-year-old has been battling some knee issues of late, and his left knee buckled after a swing-and-miss in the eighth inning on Tuesday night. For now, consider Profar day-to-day and check back to see if he's in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the New York Mets after an off day on Thursday. Profar has been a must-start in fantasy leagues in 2024 in what has been a career year to this point. Jose Azocar is manning left field and batting ninth against A's left-hander Hogan Harris on Wednesday with Profar out.
