Braves' Jurickson Profar Suffers Wrist Injury During Spring Training

The outfielder's Opening Day status remains uncertain as further tests are pending after initial X-rays came back negative.

Jurickson Profar injured his left wrist while attempting a diving catch during a spring training game against the Pirates.
Initial X-rays showed no fractures, but an MRI will determine the extent of possible ligament or tendon damage.
Profar signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Braves in January after a career-best season with the Padres, where he hit .280 with 24 home runs.
The Braves are counting on Profar to play left field and lead off in Ronald Acuña Jr.'s absence due to knee surgery recovery.
Profar has a history of injuries, including shoulder setbacks in 2014 and 2015 and multiple concussions, raising concerns about his durability.
