Rockies release Jurickson Profar, call up Hunter Goodman

BALTIMORE -- The Colorado Rockies released outfielder Jurickson Profar, who hit .236 with 8 homers, 39 RBIs and 1 stolen base after signing a one-year contract as a free agent that paid him $8.75 million.

Hunter Goodman's contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque, just two weeks after he was promoted from Double-A, and the 23-year-old started at first base Sunday and had two hits and an RBI, scoring the tiebreaking run in the ninth inning of his major league debut to lead Colorado over the Baltimore Orioles 4-3 and stop the Rockies' six-game losing streak.
