The San Diego Padres’ trip to South Korea for the 2019 MLB Opening Series may have contributed to second baseman Jurickson Profar’s season-ending injury, according to a report. Profar, a two-time All-Star, suffered a left hamstring strain during the team’s final game in Korea. The injury required surgery and ended his season prematurely. The Padres played six games in Korea against the Texas Rangers and the Oakland Athletics.
