Padres' Jurickson Profar: Smacks solo homer in loss
Rotowire
Profar went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk in Thursday's loss to Detroit.
Profar got the Padres on the board with a 411-foot solo homer off Casey Mize in the first inning and later drew a free pass, extending his streak of games with at least one walk to five. The long ball was Profar's 22nd of the season and his first in September -- he's batting just .125 (1-for-8) with two RBI, five walks and a run scored on the month. The outfielder has really struggled at the plate down the stretch, as he also batted just .196 in August. However, he's somewhat been able to make up for his lack of hitting by drawing 18 walks since the start of August, which has helped him score 20 runs over that span.

Padres' Jurickson Profar: Cleared to start Thursday
Rotowire
Profar (knee) will start in left field and bat second in Thursday's game against the Pirates.
Profar was lifted for a pinch runner in the top of the sixth inning of Wednesday's 9-8 extra-inning win after he was hit just below the right kneecap by a 95-mile-per-hour fastball. Per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, X-rays on Profar's knee came back negative, and he didn't appear to be limping around the clubhouse following Wednesday's game. As such, the Padres evidently felt comfortable enough with inserting Profar back in the lineup for the series finale.
