Profar agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the Padres on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He can earn an additional $1.5 million in incentives based on plate appearances. Profar had a nice finish with the Padres last season (.776 OPS in 14 games) after a disastrous run with the Rockies (.680 OPS in 111 games) and is back for another stint in San Diego. As things stand currently, Profar probably vaults to the top of the Padres' depth chart in left field, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see the club bring in additional help.

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

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

Profar is not in the lineup Friday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

The Padres selected Profar's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Profar signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Friday, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Profar (undisclosed) is back in the lineup Tuesday at Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
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.
