Jurickson Profar, the Padres' most productive hitter this season, left the game after suffering an apparent leg injury on a swing. He was replaced mid-at-bat by David Peralta. Profar has been dealing with left knee soreness, which Mike Shildt confirmed as left patellar tendinitis. The Padres manager stated that the medical team has a handle on the situation and has been treating it. Profar is considered day-to-day. Fernando Tatis Jr. noted that Profar has been playing through the soreness for a month, highlighting his character. Bebo described the injury as 'huge' and like losing their 'backbone.' The Padres won the game on Kyle Higashioka’s walk-off home run.
Bebo says Profar's injury “is concerning. It's huge. It's like losing our very backbone right now. Hopefully our boy can be back tomorrow. It's baseball and injuries are always part of it.” #padres
More Shildty on Profar: "It's something he's dealt with and medically we have a handle on. ... I think we've got a pretty good idea of what this is and we've been able to treat it and get ahead of it. Tonight it just was one of those nights that wasn't good for him." #padres
