Big night in Chicago Profar went 2-for-5 with a double, four RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact The 30-year-old got the best of Mike Clevinger on Saturday, lacing a bases-clearing double in the first frame and adding an RBI single in the second, which chased the White Sox starter from the game. In 13 games since Profar rejoined the Padres on Sept. 8, he has gone 11-for-39 (.282) with two doubles, one home run, six RBI and four runs. Between Colorado and San Diego, the veteran outfielder has posted a season-long slash line of .240/.320/.368 with 27 doubles, nine home runs, 45 RBI, 55 runs and one steal through 124 games (515 plate appearances).

Remains on bench Profar will sit for the third straight game Saturday against St. Louis, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Profar started five straight games after joining the roster in early September, but he's since started just two of the last eight games. He went 3-for-4 in each of his first two games back with San Diego but is just 2-for-18 since then.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Friday Profar is not in the lineup Friday against the Cardinals.

Impact Profar got off to a hot start upon returning to the Padres earlier this month, but he's gone 0-for-11 with two walks and two strikeouts over his last three games. Ji-Man Choi will cover first base Friday as Juan Soto, Trent Grisham and Fernando Tatis start across the outfield.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads offense in loss Profar went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double Saturday in a loss to the Astros.

Impact Profar signed a minor-league contract to return to the Padres organization Sept. 1 and got called up to the big club Friday. He made the start at first base one day later and gave the Padres their first lead in the fourth inning with his two-run blast to right field. He ended the contest as one of two San Diego players with multiple hits, though his contributions weren't enough to carry the team to a win. Profar could be in the mix to get starts at first base down the stretch -- Garrett Cooper and Matt Carpenter have been splitting time there of late with Jake Cronenworth (wrist) and Ji-Man Choi (ankle) potentially out for the season.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially back with Padres The Padres selected Profar's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Impact Profar inked a minor-league deal with San Diego a week ago after being released by the Rockies and is now back in the big leagues with his former club. The utility player might find playing time harder to come by during this stint than he did the first time around with the Pads, but he'll offer the team another outfield option.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Headed back to majors Profar is expected to have his contract selected by the Padres on Friday, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Profar joined the Padres on a minor-league deal Sept. 1 after being let go by the Rockies. It's unclear what type of role he may have down the stretch, particularly because he struggled to a .236/.316/.364 line across 471 plate appearances in Colorado.

Back in SD on minors deal Profar signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Friday, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Profar left the Padres after declining a player option this past offseason but was cut loose by the Rockies last month after hitting just .236/.316/.364. He batted .244/.333/.375 with 26 homers in 345 games with the Padres between 2020-21. Profar will report to Triple-A El Paso for now but has a good shot to be added to the big-league club soon especially now that rosters are expanded.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Colorado Profar was released by the Rockies on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Profar joined Colorado on a one-year, $7.75 million contract in late March and went on to slash just .236/.316/.364 with eight home runs and one stolen base across 111 games. Hunter Goodman has been called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and should get regular playing time down the stretch between catcher and the corner outfield.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Tuesday Profar (undisclosed) is back in the lineup Tuesday at Tampa Bay.

Impact Profar was on the bench for the final two games of the Rockies' three-game weekend series against the White Sox while undergoing maintenance for an undisclosed injury. He will return in the DH role and bat seventh Tuesday versus the Rays and right-hander Zack Littell.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench, could be hurting Profar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox due to what appears to be a minor injury, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Though the report doesn't clarify the nature of Profar's injury and the Rockies haven't provided an explanation on the matter, Zahlmann relays that the 30-year-old may be getting maintenance for the second day in a row while he eases his way back from the twisted left knee that he suffered one week ago. Even if Profar hasn't suffered any setbacks with the knee and is cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Tampa Bay, the Rockies may be prepared to move him into more of a part-time role. Profar is on an expiring deal and hasn't made a strong case to warrant everyday playing time on a rebuilding club, as he's slashing just .216/.290/.340 in 28 games since the All-Star break.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Profar isn't in the Rockies' lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

Impact After collecting base hits in each of his last three games, Profar will get a breather Saturday. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Michael Toglia will man the Rockies' outfield while Profar sits.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Wednesday Profar (knee) will start in left field and bat second Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Profar missed two games after twisting his left knee in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers, but he's feeling well enough to return to action Wednesday. He and his Rockies teammates will be squaring off against right-hander Slade Cecconi.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again with knee injury Profar (knee) remains absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Profar twisted his left knee in Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers and will now miss a second consecutive start, but the injury is not believed to be serious. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Michael Toglia are starting across the outfield for the Rockies on Tuesday versus Arizona.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Injury not serious Profar did not require an MRI after leaving Sunday's game with a twisted left knee, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Profar is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, but the lack of an MRI suggests he will not miss extended time, as does the fact that manager Bud Black indicated Profar is sore but will be available if needed Monday night.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with twisted left knee Profar was diagnosed with a twisted left knee after exiting Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Profar sustained his injury while making a catch at the wall to end the second inning and was unable to finish the game. He'll undergo further imaging to determine the extent of the issue, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with knee injury Profar was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent knee injury, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact After making a great catch at the wall to end the second inning, Profar fell to the ground and indicated something was wrong with his left knee. He will presumably undergo imaging, and the Rockies should have more information shortly. Until then, Profar should be considered day-to-day.
