Padres' Jurickson Profar: Knocks two-run homer
Rotowire
Profar went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

This was his second homer in six September games after he had just one long ball in all of August. The 29-year-old is up to a .244/.341/.404 slash line with 14 homers, 55 RBI, 73 runs scored and five stolen bases through 130 contests.

Padres' Jurickson Profar: Production lagging
Rotowire
Profar went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.
As the table setter for the San Diego lineup, Profar hasn't noticed the burst in counting-stats production that many anticipated when the Friars acquired Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Brandon Drury ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline. Profar has started in each of the team's 15 games since the deadline, but he has only eight runs and two RBI to show for it. Profar hasn't helped his cause by getting on base at a modest .304 clip during that stretch, but the Padres haven't shown any inclination to remove him from the top of the lineup. He'll serve as the Friars' starting left fielder and leadoff man once again in Wednesday's series finale in Miami, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Padres' Jurickson Profar: Seven hits in twin bill
Rotowire
Profar went 7-for-10 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Rockies.
Getting the start in left field and hitting leadoff in both contests, Profar did most of his damage in the matinee, going 5-for-6 to help fuel a 13-5 rout. The Padres' additions at the deadline could eventually squeeze the 29-year-old for playing time, but Profar may be too hot to take out of the lineup right now -- he's reeled off five straight multi-hit performances, and over his last 14 games he's slashing .375/.426/.661 with four doubles, four homers, nine RBI and 12 runs.

Padres' Jurickson Profar: In midst of rough patch at plate
Rotowire
Profar went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Mariners.
With eight home runs, four stolen bases, 50 runs and 38 RBI over 354 plate appearances this season while having taken over as the Padres' primary leadoff man, Profar has been a strong producer relative to his minimal cost in fantasy drafts. However, the 29-year-old has been trending down of late, as he's now slashing .172/.333/.276 over his last eight games in the wake of his 0-for-4 showing Monday. He'll remain atop the lineup for Tuesday's series finale while occupying left field, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune.
