(Atlanta News First) &#8211; Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar will be ready for opening day despite suffering a bone bruise in his left wrist, according to MLB.com\u2019s Mark Bowman.<\/p>\n<p>Jurickson Profar was removed from Saturday\u2019s Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after he appeared to land awkwardly on his left wrist while attempting a diving catch. He quickly removed his glove and began rolling in left field, appearing in immediate pain.<\/p>\n<p>Initial x-rays were negative.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman said Profar flew to Atlanta for more testing and a CT scan revealed the bone bruise.<\/p>\n<p>The expectation is that Profar will be ready for opening day March 27 against the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves signed Profar to a three-year, $42 million contract in January to form one of the league\u2019s most prolific outfield trios in Profar, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Michael Harris II. The 32-year-old recorded 24 home runs, 85 RBIs and a .839 OPS over 158 games with San Diego in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far in spring training, Profar recorded two hits in 12 at-bats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The expectation is that Profar will be ready for opening day March 27 against the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":39986,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1184,1185,1186,239,1179,868,1176,1173,1174,1175,1177,1178,1180,1181,1182,1183,740],"class_list":["post-39985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-acuna","tag-acuna-braves","tag-acuna-braves-injury","tag-braves","tag-braves-profar","tag-jurickson-profar","tag-jurickson-profar-bone-bruise","tag-jurickson-profar-braves","tag-jurickson-profar-injury","tag-jurickson-profar-injury-update","tag-jurickson-profar-wrist","tag-jurickson-profar-wrist-injury","tag-profar-braves","tag-profar-braves-injury","tag-profar-injury","tag-profar-injury-update","tag-ronald-acuna-jr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
