SAN DIGEO: Jurickson Profar, a left fielder for the San Diego Padres who leads the big leagues in both on-base percentage and batting average, was sidelined on Wednesday due to patellar tendinitis in his left knee.
Profar stated that although the problem has been there for a month, he has been addressing it for years.
In the eighth inning of Tuesday night’s 4-3 victory against Oakland, he went down while swinging at a pitch and was taken out of the game.
On certain days, it’s simply that awful. Just before the Padres wrapped up a series against the Athletics, he said, “Today was the worst day in a while.
Tuesday night, Profar singled for two runs in the fifth inning before being thrown out, attempting to score off Manny Machado’s double.
At thirty-one, Profar is enjoying a stellar season on a $1 million deal. His.324 average and.424 OBP ranked him third in the majors heading into Wednesday’s games.
After Juan Soto was traded to the New York Yankees in a major transaction in December, he returned on a one-year deal.
Mike Shildt, the manager, stated on Tuesday night that Profar has been “battling and playing with a little bit of an injury.” It’s something we have control over medically and something he has experienced. We’ve been able to address and anticipate this, so I believe we have a decent understanding of what it is. It was simply one of those evenings where he wasn’t feeling well tonight.
