Braves' Jurickson Profar: Reinstated from paternity leave
Rotowire
Atlanta activated Profar from the paternity list Thursday.
Profar missed the final two games of the series against the Cubs while welcoming a new baby to the family, but he'll be ready for the start of the weekend series against the Mariners. The switch hitter is slashing .253/.386/.471 with nine homers and eight steals in the second half.
Atlanta placed Profar on the paternity list Tuesday.
Profar will likely miss the final two games of the series against the Cubs before rejoining Atlanta for the start of a homestand Friday. Jake Fraley and Eli White will likely pick up the slack in left field while Profar is away.
