Jurickson Profar On The Bench Wednesday
1 year agoColorado 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.
