Jurickson Profar’s Injury Update: Optimism for Opening Day???check out
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar suffered a left wrist injury on March 8, 2025, during a spring training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. While attempting a sliding catch in the fourth inning, Profar’s glove caught in the outfield grass, leading to the injury. He exited the game immediately and underwent initial X-rays, which returned negative, indicating no fractures.
To further assess the injury, Profar underwent a CT scan on March 9, which revealed only a bone bruise without any structural damage. This diagnosis has led the Braves to remain optimistic about his availability for Opening Day. Profar expressed his confidence, stating, “I’m very confident. I’m very, very confident.” He also mentioned that if this injury had occurred during the regular season, he likely could have continued playing, but he is adhering to medical advice during spring training.
As part of his recovery plan, Profar has returned to the Braves’ spring training facility, wearing a brace on his left wrist. He is scheduled to participate in simulated games to track pitches and will continue receiving treatment. Manager Brian Snitker emphasized a cautious approach, aiming to prevent any setbacks. The team anticipates that Profar will resume hitting activities soon and expects him to be in the lineup for the season opener against his former team, the San Diego Padres, on March 27.
