• Rangers' Jurickson Profar: Resting in season finale

  17D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Profar is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Profar had started the Rangers' last 11 games and managed just nine hits in 43 at-bats (.209), so he'll be given an early start on the offseason by taking a seat in the 2018 finale. Despite crawling to the finish line of the campaign, the 25-year-old was one of the pleasant surprises for the last-place Rangers this season. He amassed 61 extra-base hits -- including 20 home runs -- and went 10-for-10 on steal attempts while slashing .254/.336/.459 in 593 plate appearances. Profar should have a line to an everyday role with the Rangers in 2019.

• Rangers' Jurickson Profar: Reaches 20 homers

  Profar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Angels. Profar launched his 20th homer, putting a nice cap on what has been his best season to date. After several years of unfulfilled promise, including injuries, Profar is approaching 600 plate appearances in 2018. He's mostly pieced together his at-bats at various infield positions, serving as an injury replacement for shortstop Elvis Andrus and third baseman Adrian Beltre. He also got ample time at first base. It's unclear which position Profar will end up playing in 2019, but the Rangers will want the arbitration-eligible infielder back.

• Rangers' Jurickson Profar: Records 19th homer

  22D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Profar went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Monday against the Athletics. Profar took Felix Pena deep in the sixth inning to record his 19th home run of the season. He is ending the season with some pop, as the longball brought his homer total in September to five. While his .254/.336/.460 slash line isn't spectacular, he took a significant step forward, getting a full-season of at-bats at the major-league level for the first time in his career.

  Profar is not in the lineup Monday against the Rays. Profar has started all but one game for the Rangers in September, slashing .208/.345/.580 with four homers, seven RBI and a 5:5 K:BB over that 14-game stretch. He'll give way to Adrian Beltre at the hot corner for Monday's series opener.

  09/15/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Profar had a big night Friday, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored in a win over the Padres. It was the first multi-hit game for Profar since Sept. 2, as he had gone just 4-for-30 since then. He continued to add to his career-highs in home runs (17) and RBI (73), and he should continue to see consistent at-bats at third or first base over the final weeks of the season.
