Jurickson Profar

Jurickson Profar is currently still in Curaçao due to his work visa being delayed by paperwork.

Fantasy Impact

Rockies’ manager Bud Black is hopefully that Profar will be able to return to the U.S. soon after an early meeting with the consulate in Curaçao. Currently, it does not sound like the Rockies are concerned about the 30-year-old’s status for Opening Day.

Jurickson Profar and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to an $8.75 million deal according to Jon Heyman.

Fantasy Impact

Profar’s deal includes $7.75 million guaranteed while also including an incentive if the veteran makes at least 400 plate appearances for the club. The veteran will likely see time at multiple positions and is an intriguing option to watch in hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Jurickson Profar has declined his player option with the Padres and will now be a free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Profar has played three seasons in San Diego and will now look to test the free agent market. The 29-year-old slashed .243/.331/.391 with 15 home runs and 58 runs batted in last season. Profar should receive interest in the open market with his positional versatility.

Padres leadoff hitter Jurickson Profar finished 2-for-5 with a home run and a double in San Diego's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Profar took Cardinals starter Jake Flaherty deep in the bottom of the first inning, giving the Padres an early lead. It was his 15th homer of the season. He later hit his 34th double of the season off Flaherty, driving in another run. The Padres outfielder has quietly been producing solid mid-round value for much of the season hitting atop one of the league's best lineups.

Padres OF Jurickson Profar took D'Backs starter Tommy Henry deep in the second inning for his 14th round tripper of the season. He finished 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in the win.

Fantasy Impact

Profar is quietly having a decent season for San Diego. He has 32 doubles and 73 runs to go with his 14 home runs, providing late round value in redraft leagues this season. He hit fifth in San Diego's lineup Wednesday, which is different than his normal leadoff spot. If he stays there, the 29-year-old outfielder could see more RBI opportunities, likely at the cost of runs scored.
