Atlanta Braves fans feared the worst when All-Star outfielder Jurickson Profar suffered a left wrist injury Saturday. Luckily for both sides, they dodged a bullet when a CT scan revealed Profar only suffered a bone bruise. The former top prospect is expected to play Opening Day on March 27 rather than hit the injured list.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar hurt his left wrist attempting to make a diving catch in Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh. Initial X-rays were negative and the preliminary diagnosis was a jammed wrist, but the veteran will have further tests to determine whether there is soft-tissue damage and the extent of the injury.
Braves left fielder Jurickson Profar’s availability for Opening Day will be determined by the results of an MRI exam. Profar jammed his left wrist while attempting to make a sliding catch during the fourth inning of Saturday’s game against the Pirates at CoolToday Park.
