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. May 21 - 12:17 AM

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

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 - 2B - Rangers

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.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

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

Profar will see regular starts at second base while Ian Kinsler (intercostal) is on the disabled list. Baseball's top prospect was batting .278/.370/.438 with four homers and six steals in 37 games at the Triple-A level and is worth an add in fantasy leagues based purely on talent and ceiling. But he won't have a guaranteed role when Kinsler returns.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that Jurickson Profar is in Arlington and might be recalled.

The club has him around as insurance in case a roster move needs to be made, likely involving Ian Kinsler (ribs). Profar got off to a slow start at Triple-A Round Rock this season, but he has come alive lately and is batting .278/.370/.438 with four homers and six steals overall. If Kinsler heads to the DL, Profar would play every day.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

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.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Jurickson Profar was scratched from Triple-A Round Rock's lineup Thursday due to tightness in his side.

Wednesday's game was playing in 37-degree weather, which left Profar a little stiff. It's viewed as a precautionary move, so he should be back in there soon.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Rangers optioned SS Jurickson Profar to Triple-A Round Rock.

The Rangers refused early on in spring training to rule out Profar making the Opening Day roster, but it's seemed obvious from the beginning that it would've taken an injury for it to happen. The consensus top prospect in the game, Profar will play regularly in the minors rather than getting occasional at-bats off the Rangers' bench.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Jurickson Profar will begin the season in the minors.

It's been obvious for a while, but the Rangers made it official Tuesday when Leury Garcia was awarded a spot on the Opening Day roster. Profar has plenty of potential, but he's better off playing every day in the minors as opposed to getting occasional at-bats off the Rangers' bench. We'll see him eventually and he should be worth owning in mixed leagues if there's an injury.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Jurickson Profar has been added to the Netherlands' roster for the second round of the World Baseball Classic.

Profar skipped the first round because he wanted to focus on making the Opening Day roster, but now that his native country has advanced and is dealing with some injuries, he's decided to join up. The top prospect is expected to begin the season at Triple-A.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Monday that he will encourage Jurickson Profar to join the Netherlands for the finals of the World Baseball Classic.

Profar originally skipped the World Baseball Classic because he wanted to focus on making the Opening Day roster, but he has expressed a willingness to join the club now that they have advanced to the second round. The Netherlands' squad is dealing with a number of injuries, so we can't see how they wouldn't welcome Profar with open arms, especially since the Rangers have apparently given him their blessing.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Jurickson Profar could be added to the Netherlands' World Baseball Classic roster as an injury replacement.

Profar decided against joining the initial roster, but he's open to signing on for the second round after his native country surprisingly advanced. "If they give me a chance, I will go," Profar said. "They are doing a really great job." The Netherlands has a few players dealing with minor injuries who could give up their spot to Profar.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

According to WEEI's Alex Speier, Jurickson Profar has decided against playing in the World Baseball Classic.

Profar will instead remain in Rangers camp all spring and try to win a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 19-year-old top prospect was expected to start at second base for Team Netherlands in the 2013 WBC.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Monday that he doesn't intend to play top prospect Jurickson Profar in the outfield this spring.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said last week that Profar might end up getting some playing time in the outfield in an effort to increase his versatility and chances of making the team, but Washington apparently isn't on board with the idea. "No," said Washington. "He’s going to come in and work on the infield. I have no intentions on him playing the outfield." Assuming Washington holds firm to his plan, we can't see how Profar will get enough playing time to justify keeping him on the major league roster.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Jurickson Profar is rethinking his decision not to play for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic.

He will make up his mind early in spring camp. The game's top prospect, Profar is expected to begin the 2013 campaign at Triple-A, though the Rangers haven't ruled out him cracking the Opening Day roster.

2B	1	Ian Kinsler D.L. Rangers placed 2B Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with an intercostal strain. Kinsler hasn't started the last two games with rib soreness and said he still felt discomfort during batting practice on Sunday. The Rangers aren't overly concerned about the injury, but top prospect Jurickson Profar will be called up to replace Kinsler on the active roster. Kinsler is batting .302/.369/.500 with seven home runs through his first 40 games this season. May 19

S	1	Matt Harrison D.L. Matt Harrison recently had a setback with his back that required an additional surgery on Wednesday. Harrison underwent an operation on April 23 to repair a herniated disk in his lower back but began feeling additional discomfort this week, necessitating another procedure. According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, the Rangers are "operating under the assumption that Harrison will pitch again this season, but he will be out for at least three months." In other words, we won't see him again until August at the earliest, and it seems like there's a good chance it will be longer than that. May 1
	2	Yu Darvish

	4	Alexi Ogando D.L. Alexi Ogando (biceps) underwent an MRI which revealed no structural damage. Ogando was placed on the disabled list on Thursday with biceps tendinitis after he felt some pain during Wednesday's start against the Athletics. It's an encouraging sign that no more serious damage was found, and his stay on the DL should be a short one. Josh Lindblom is expected to hold his place in the rotation while he's sidelined. May 17
	5	Nick Tepesch
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Josh Lindblom
	8	Colby Lewis D.L. Colby Lewis (elbow) acknowledged on Monday afternoon that he's unhappy with his fastball velocity. Lewis was sitting around 85-86 mph in his rehab start Monday at Double-A Frisco and wants to be closer to 89-91 mph by the time he returns to the major leagues. The hope had been that he would be ready to rock during the first week of June, but a more realistic timetable calls for him to be activated near the middle of the month. Lewis is on his way back from major right elbow surgery. May 20
	9	Neftali Feliz D.L. Neftali Feliz (elbow) is long-tossing at 120 feet. Feliz's rehab from Tommy John surgery is going fine, although it's not yet been announced when he'll be ready to throw off a mound. We expect him to return to a major league mound late in the summer. May 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Joe Nathan
	2	Joakim Soria D.L. Joakim Soria (elbow) will be shut down for 2-3 weeks with a strained pectoral muscle and is now not expected to return until around July 1. A tough break for the Rangers, as Soria had been slated to join the Rangers' bullpen as soon as late next month. The good news is that his surgically-repaired elbow is fine. The Rangers will continue to use a host of players to set up for Joe Nathan. Apr 22
