Jurickson Profar on the concussion IL after Thursday's collision, leaving Padres looking for a left fielder and leadoff hitter during his absence
, was bad enough, but some things are unavoidable when so much media invades every corner of your life.’ dugout Friday afternoon. “I’m just glad he’s doing way better today. Hopefully he’s back with us shortly and better it could have been a lot worse. He wanted to play today, knowing him, especially with how he was trying to walk off there , but I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Athletic trainers tended to Profar for several minutes after Thursday’s fifth-inning collision. He was eventually allowed to attempt to walk off the field under his own power. But after taking a few steps, Profar bent over and then dropped to his knees. He stayed down for another couple minutes, then got up and tried again to walk off, but he slowed as he approached the infield dirt and collapsed to his right. The trainers stabilized him on his back as team doctors joined them on the field.
A day later, in response to questions submitted about whether protocols were followed or if anything should have been done differently, a Padres spokesperson responded that “medical protocols were followed by our trainers, doctors and EMT staff” following an internal review, as is the case with all on-field injuries.
As expected, Profar was transferred to the seven-day concussion injured list before Friday’s game and outfielder Brent Rooker was called up from Triple-A El Paso, where he had a .279/.401/.596 batting line with 14 homers in 49 games.
