    PITTSBURGH -- San Diego Padres All-Star left fielder Jurickson Profar left Wednesday night's 9-8 win in 10 innings at Pittsburgh shortly after getting hit just below his right knee by a pitch.

    Profar was struck by a pitch from Hunter Stratton in the sixth inning and initially stayed in the game, taking first base. Profar hobbled into second base while advancing on Xander Bogaerts ' single. He was then removed from the game for pinch runner Ha-Seong Kim after being visited by manager Mike Shildt and a trainer.

    After the game, Shildt said X-rays on Profar were negative and he is listed as day to day.

    Signed to a one-year, $1 million contract in the offseason, Profar entered the game with a .302 batting average, 19 home runs and a National League-leading .395 on-base percentage in 112 games.

    Profar was selected to last month's All-Star Game for the first time in his 11-year career and was a starter.
