Braves' Jurickson Profar Injures Wrist During Spring Training

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar exited Saturday's spring training game with a jammed left wrist after an awkward landing while attempting a diving catch on a sinking liner by Jack Suwinski in the fourth inning against Pittsburgh. The Braves reported that initial X-rays on Profar's wrist were negative, but he will undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury.
​
Profar, who signed a $42 million, three-year contract with the Braves in January, is coming off a career year with the San Diego Padres, where he batted .280 with 24 home runs and 85 RBIs. The 32-year-old switch hitter was expected to be a key player for Atlanta this season. The team remains hopeful that Profar's injury is not serious and that he will recover quickly to continue contributing to their success.
