MARCH 8: Braves left fielder Jurickson Profar suffered what the club described as a jammed left wrist during today’s Grapefruit League game with the Pirates. Profar suffered the injury while trying to make a diving catch of a line drive in the fourth inning, and the outfielder was in obvious discomfort in the aftermath of the play.

Profar was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left wrist Sunday, and he's not expected to be sidelined for Opening Day, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. The news comes as a relief for Atlanta, which will already be without star Ronald Acuna (knee) for the start of the campaign.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar hurt his left wrist attempting to make a diving catch in Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh. Initial X-rays were negative and the preliminary diagnosis was a jammed wrist, but the veteran will have further tests to determine whether there is soft-tissue damage and the extent of the injury.

The Atlanta Braves major free agent signing will undergo further testing to determine the final results of his apparent injury on Saturday
