Jurickson Profar

Jurickson Profar crushed a solo home run to give the San Diego Padres a lead over Detroit Tigers.

Profar's home run was his 22nd of the season. He hit a solo shot off Casey Mize in the first inning. Profar continues to add to his career-highs in home runs and RBI this year. He's hitting .278 with an .844 OPS and 82 RBI on the season.

This was bound to happen with Fernando Tatis Jr. back, though the Padres did start him and give Jurickson Profar a rest on Monday. Peralta has been excellent these last two months, hitting .293/.342/.490 in 158 plate appearances, so the Padres will continue to mix and match with him when it makes sense.

Tatis Jr. is in the lineup for the first time since June 21. The 25-year-old may see a day off here and there to keep his legs fresh, but the fact he's hitting near the top of the lineup tells you that San Diego believes he's ready to contribute again. Jurickson Profar is out of the lineup Monday.

Profar is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
