Jurickson Profar 2B/SS TEX
3 Days Texas Rangers Comment

Making his first start for the Rangers this season, Jurickson Profar went 0-for-2 with a pair of RBI against the A's on Monday.

Profar drove in both Rangers runs with a groundout and a sac fly. Manager Ron Washington said Profar and Leury Garcia would split time at second, but as long as Profar is up, the Rangers would be crazy not to use him.

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Jurickson Profar will split playing time with Leury Garcia at second base while Ian Kinsler is on the disabled list.

"Leury's going to get some time there," Washington said. "So when you see Profar sitting, don't be surprised." It's obviously not what fantasy owners that picked up Profar want to hear. He should still see most of the starts at second, but Washington wants to keep Garcia sharp.

Jurickson Profar will bat ninth and start at second base Monday night against the Athletics.

Profar was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday and regular looks at second base while Ian Kinsler (ribs) is sidelined. The top prospect should be worth using in most mixed leagues for now, though he could be headed right back down to the minors once Kinsler is ready to return.

This week I went a bit reliever crazy. It's better to spend a small amount on a middle reliever who could take over as the closer than spend a huge amount on the guy a week or two later when he is officially named the closer. Therefore, I added an AL East closer in pretty [...]

Rangers recalled SS Jurickson Profar from Triple-A Round Rock.

Profar will see regular starts at second base with Ian Kinsler on the disabled list. After getting off to a slow start, he's batting .278/.370/.438 with four homers and six steals at the Triple-A level. Profar is worth an add in fantasy leagues based purely on talent and ceiling. He doesn't have a guaranteed role when Kinsler returns.

Jurickson Profar (side) was out of the lineup for a third straight game Saturday at Triple-A Round Rock.

Profar has some tightness in his left side, so he's being treated carefully in the cold early-season weather. The top shortstop prospect may return to action Sunday.
