BALTIMORE — The Colorado Rockies released outfielder Jurickson Profar, who hit .236 with eight homers, 39 RBIs and one 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. The 23-year-old started at first base and batted sixth against Baltimore in his major league debut. The 30-year-old Profar had spent the previous three seasons with San Diego, batting .244 with 26 homers, 116 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases.
