Texas Rangers

The Rangers recalled infield prospect Jurickson Profar Sunday. Profar was already in Arlington but did not get the start in the game against the Tigers, FOXSports.com reports. 

Profar was summoned from Triple-A Round Rock prior to the game Sunday as Ian Kinsler was being examined before being placed on the DL. The Rangers eventually shelved Kinsler and recalled Profar. 

The 20-year-old top prospect has seen 17 at-bats with the Rangers, all coming last year. He hit .176 with a homer and two RBI. 

The Rangers announced that Ian Kinsler has been placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to an intercostal strain, FOXSports.com reports. The Rangers recalled Jurickson Profar as the corresponding roster move. 

Kinsler was missing time and the Rangers thought it best to place him on the DL rather than let the injury linger. Kinsler last played May 17 against the Tigers and is batting .302 on the year with seven homers and 20 RBI. 

The Rangers will evaluate the status of second baseman Ian Kinsler Sunday, ESPN reports. Texas must decide whether or not to place him on the disabled list due to his bruised ribs. 

Kinsler is missing time and the Rangers summoned top prospect Jurickson Profar in case the infielder is needed to fill in for the veteran Kinsler. Profar will officially be recalled if Kinsler lands on the disabled list. 

The Rangers have summoned top prospect Jurickson Profar to Arlington for Sunday's game against the Tigers, ESPN reports. Profar has not yet been recalled officially, however. 

Profar is in Arlington in case the Rangers decide to make a move and he is needed. One of baseball's top prospects, Profar is batting .278 for Triple-A Round Rock in 144 at-bats with four homers, 19 RBI and six steals. 

Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus was slotted atop the team's lineup with Ian Kinsler out for a second-straight day, and he responded with a 5-for-5 performance that included a double, triple, three runs, two RBI and two stolen bases.

Andrus bumped his batting average 20 points, giving him a .282/.328/.350 line with 12 stolen bases in 192 plate appearances. Despite the excellent outing, Andrus won't retain the lead-off spot in the lineup when Kinsler returns.
