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.

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 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.

AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Saturday Profar isn't in the Rockies' lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Profar is just 3-for-20 with a homer and two RBI across his last five games, so he'll get a day off Saturday to regroup. Nolan Jones will slide over to left field in Profar's absence, moving Michael Toglia into right and Elehuris Montero in to start at first base.

He then drove in a second run in the seventh before later coming around to score the go-ahead run in the 10th, putting Colorado up 6-5. The home run was Profar's first since July 21 against the Marlins and it marked his second multi-hit game this month.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in loss Profar went 3-for-5 with two runs scored Tuesday against the Padres.

Impact Profar collected his fourth multi-hit effort in his last 10 games, during which he's also managed six runs scored and four RBI. Even though he's served as the Rockies' primary leadoff hitter for most of the season, Profar has little to offer in terms of fantasy value as he has only a .127 ISO with one stolen base across 413 plate appearances.

Impact Profar took Braxton Garrett deep in the second inning to tally his first home run since June 23. In that month, he's gotten on base at an impressive .368 clip, though that's come with only five total extra-base hits. Profar continues to serve as the Rockies' primary leadoff hitter, so his best path to potential fantasy value is runs scored.

JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice in loss Profar went 1-for-3 with a double and two runs scored Saturday against the Yankees.

Impact Profar was one of the few bright spots for the Rockies, as he accounted for two of the three runs the team scored. It also marked only the third time this season that he's scored multiple runs in a game, an underwhelming mark considering he's led off or hit second in 78 of 80 contests this season. While Profar's overall stat line is underwhelming, he does boast a 9.9 percent walk rate and .324 on-base percentage, so he could have a slightly more productive second half in terms of runs scored.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Nolan Jones will start in left field and bat sixth versus the Giants and right-hander Ross Stripling. Ezequiel Tovar is taking a turn as Colorado's leadoff man. The switch-hitting Profar has slashed just .233/.323/.358 in 249 plate appearances against righties this year.

Impact Though he hasn't left the yard since smacking two home runs in a May 9 game in Pittsburgh, Profar's power hasn't gone missing completely; he's still delivered nine doubles and two triples over the past month's worth of games. Profar has mostly batted out of the two hole during that month-long stretch, but he's moved into the leadoff spot for the last three contests while Charlie Blackmon (hand) has been on the shelf.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Four-hit effort in loss Profar went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Giants.
