Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game with Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Angels. The 30-year-old veteran has disappointed in his first year in Colorado, despite the friendly confines, batting .236 with six homers, 33 runs, 27 RBI, and no steals across 69 games. Without the stolen bases, Profar has minimal value in any format, even as the primary leadoff hitter. Backstop Jorge Alfaro will take his spot in the lineup as the ...

Colorado 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 ...

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar will get back into the starting lineup Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Profar got the night off in Wednesday's 6-0 shutout loss but will re-enter the lineup out of the two-hole against D-backs right-hander Zach Davies Thursday afternoon. It's been tough sledding for the veteran so far this season as Profar is hitting just .243 with five homers and a .718 OPS across 216 plate appearances on the campaign. Such production has produced an 81 ...

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (back), catcher Elias Diaz and outfielder Jurickson Profar are all out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. Cron left the game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies with back spasms and will likely land on the injured list on Monday. He does have six home runs and 19 RBI in 35 games so far in 2023, but he's also hitting just .228 (31-for-136). Mike Moustakas is playing first base and hitting cleanup on Monday, and he should ...

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. A well deserved day off after Profar has played in every game since joining the team on April 2. The 30-year-old hasn't hit too well, but maybe a day off will help him get back into a groove. Harold Castro will take over left field and bat seventh versus righty Trevor Williams on Saturday.

Colorado Rockies outfielder/second baseman Jurickson Profar is hitting leadoff again in Thursday's contest versus the Washington Nationals. Thursday marks the fourth game of the season for Profar and the fourth time he's hit out of the leadoff spot as the trend continues. Signed late in spring training, Profar has scuffled out of the gate in the regular season as he's just 1-for-11 with a walk across 12 trips to the plate. The switch-hitting veteran hit .243 with 15 home runs, five steals, and ...

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is starting in left field and batting leadoff against the San Diego Padres in Sunday's series finale. The 30-year-old outfielder signed with the Rockies on March 19th and needed some extra time to work out a visa issue and ramp up his baseball activities. The Rockies are wasting no time and have him leading off against his former team on Sunday. He has some fantasy appeal if he can remain atop the Colorado lineup, especially with playing half of his ...

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar is not with the team for Opening Day. He is not able to be replaced on the active roster. Profar just signed with the Rockies two weeks ago and had visa issues resolved two days ago. He didn't play in any Spring Training games for the Rockies, though he did play for Team Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic. It's not known when Profar will join the team, but when he does, he will be a decent deeper league option while playing half his games at ...

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar has had his visa issues resolved and is on his way to join the team in Arizona. The Rockies also optioned Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. Profar didn't actually play in any spring training games for Colorado after just signing a one-year deal with the team last weekend. The 30-year-old did play in the World Baseball Classic for Team Netherlands, though, and he could be in the Opening Day lineup for his new team on Thursday against...

With injuries to Colorado Rockies outfielders Sean Bouchard (biceps) and Randal Grichuk (hernia) this spring, the Rockies are showing renewed interest in signing free-agent outfielder/infielder Jurickson Profar, according to a source. Charlie Blackmon (back) was also injured in Friday's Cactus League game. The 30-year-old switch-hitter slashed .243/.331/.391 with 15 home runs in 152 games for the San Diego Padres last year, and he is currently playing for Team Netherlands in the World Baseball ...
