Profar went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
A day after being singled out by Dodgers catcher Will Smith for being irrelevant, Profar showed his relevancy by roping a bases-loaded double off the wall in center field to put the Padres up 6-3 in the seventh. Profar has now hit safely in 10 of 11 games dating back to April 2. Overall, he's slashing .321/.424/.536 with two homers, 13 RBI, seven runs and a 9:12 BB:K in 66 plate appearances.

Profar went 1-for-3 with a grand slam home run against the Giants in a 4-0 victory Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Profar accounted for all of San Diego's runs in the victory with his first-inning grand slam. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran, whose high mark in homers for his career is 20 in each of the 2018 and 2019 campaigns. Profar has been a steady bat for the Padres so far this season, reaching base in 10 of his first 11 games and slashing .273/.400/.485 with seven RBI through 40 plate appearances.

Profar (ankle) went 0-for-2 with a walk while playing six innings in left field Sunday in the Padres' 1-0 win over Team Korea in an exhibition game in Seoul, South Korea.
EDGE Analysis
Profar was able to make the trip with the Padres to South Korea after he sustained a minor right ankle sprain in the Padres' most recent Cactus League game Wednesday. After getting a few days off to rest, Profar looked to be fine in his return to action Sunday, setting the stage for him to be included in the Opening Day lineup when the Padres and Dodgers open their regular seasons Wednesday in Seoul.

Profar traveled with San Diego on the team's trip to Korea despite dealing with a sprained right ankle, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Profar was injured in the Padres' final Cactus League game Wednesday when he pulled up while rounding first base. Manager Mike Shildt indicated after the contest that Profar suffered a mild right ankle sprain but that doctors believed he would be "just fine." Shildt also said that the veteran outfielder would make the trip to Korea for San Diego's season-opening two game set versus the Dodgers, though it remains to be seen if he'll be ready to play by the first contest Wednesday. Profar is slated to open the campaign as the Padres' starting left fielder, but if he's unable to play right away, Jose Azocar could step in as his replacement.

Profar was removed from Wednesday's Cactus League against the Athletics with an apparent leg injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Profar suffered the injury while rounding first base, and he subsequently limped off the field. It's poor timing for the Padres, which are finishing up their Cactus League slate ahead of the season-opening series in South Korea versus the Dodgers next week. It remains to be seen if the 31-year-old's availability for that series will be affected by the injury.

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 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.
