Hits clutch home run Profar went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Twins.
Impact Profar's bat woke up when it mattered most, as he took Steven Okert deep in the eighth to put the Padres ahead 6-5. It was his first home run since Aug. 4 and and his first multi-RBI game since July 31. He's been the unheralded MVP offensively for the Padres this season and is well on pace to post his first campaign with an OPS of above .800 after failing to do so in his first 10 seasons. The 31-year-old is slashing .290/.387/.474 with 20 homers, 76 RBI, 74 runs, seven steals and a 57:76 BB:K in 521 plate appearances.

Records steal Monday Profar went 1-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base in a 5-3 win against Minnesota on Monday.
Impact Profar had been in a cold spell coming into the contest, going 4-for-27 with only one extra-base hit over his previous seven games. Though he had just one base knock against the Twins, he added some useful fantasy production with a pair of runs and a theft. Profar has slowed down a bit after an excellent first half of the campaign, but he's still slashing a solid .290/.388/.469 with 19 homers, 73 RBI, 73 runs and seven stolen bases over 124 contests on the season.

Cleared to start Thursday Profar (knee) will start in left field and bat second in Thursday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Profar was lifted for a pinch runner in the top of the sixth inning of Wednesday's 9-8 extra-inning win after he was hit just below the right kneecap by a 95-mile-per-hour fastball. Per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, X-rays on Profar's knee came back negative, and he didn't appear to be limping around the clubhouse following Wednesday's game. As such, the Padres evidently felt comfortable enough with inserting Profar back in the lineup for the series finale.

X-rays negative X-rays on Profar's right knee came back negative after Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Profar was forced out of Wednesday's game after he took a pitch off his knee and struggled to run the bases in the sixth inning, but he seems to have escaped the incident without suffering any significant injuries. He's being viewed as day-to-day for now, and Bryce Johnson would be a likely option to start if Profar is unable to play in Thursday's series finale.

Padres' Profar hit near right knee by pitch, listed as day to day after X-rays are negative
San Diego Padres All-Star left fielder Jurickson Profar left Wednesday night’s game at Pittsburgh shortly after getting hit just below his right knee by a pitchAUGUST 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Exits after HBP Profar was removed from Wednesday's game against the Pirates after getting hit in the knee by a pitch, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Profar took a 95-mph fastball off his right knee in the sixth inning of Wednesday's contest. He was able to limp to first base and remained in the game after being examined by trainers, but the decision was made to pull him after he had a hard time running to second base on a Xander Bogaerts single. The severity of Profar's injury is still unknown, but Bryce Johnson could be in line to make a start in the outfield if the 31-year-old is forced to miss any amount of time.

Swats solo home run Profar went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, a walk and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rockies.
Impact Profar got his day going with a solo blast to right in the fifth to extend the Padres' lead to 3-1. He then followed that up with a double in the seventh and a walk in the eighth and scored both times. He now has six multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games and is slashing .319/.429/.681 with five homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs and an 8:8 BB:K over that span. For the year, the 31-year-old All-Star is slashing .300/.393/.491 with 19 homers, 71 RBI, 63 runs, five steals and a 54:68 BB:K in 458 plate appearances. He remains one of 13 qualified players who is currently hitting at least .300.
