PITTSBURGH — San Diego Padres All-Star left fielder Jurickson Profar left Wednesday night's 9-8 win in 10 innings shortly after being hit just below his right knee by a pitch.
Profar was hit by a pitch from Hunter Stratton in the sixth inning and remained in the game, occupying first base. Profar limped to second base while advancing on Xander Bogaerts' single. He was then removed from the game for pinch-runner Ha-Seong Kim after receiving a visit from manager Mike Shildt and a trainer.
After the game, Shildt said Profar's X-rays were negative and he is on a day-to-day basis.
Profar signed a one-year, $1 million contract in the offseason and entered the game with a .302 batting average, 19 home runs and a NL-leading .395 on-base percentage in 112 games.
Profar was selected to last month's All-Star Game for the first time in his 11-year career and was a starter.
