Rangers may keep Jurickson Profar in majors
The Texas Rangers have discussed keeping infielder Jurickson Profar around after Rougned Odor's suspension ends, according to Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
What It Means:
Hanser Alberto would also remain on the active roster and the Rangers would go with a seven-man bullpen. Profar is 6-for-18 (.333) since his callup on Friday and he was slashing .284/.356/.426 with five homers and four steals in 189 plate appearances this season with Triple-A Round Rock. The former top prospect might have finally found some footing at the major league level, though it's still pretty loose.
Prior to his 18 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, Profar last played in the majors in 2013. Our models currently project him to hit .247/.320/.379 with four home runs, one stolen base, and a .301 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
