Profar Called Up for Rangers

Jurickson Profar has the opportunity of a lifetime. On Saturday, Ron Washington decided to give everyday shortstop Elvis Andrus some rest and allow top prospect Jurickson Profar a chance to shine. At only 19 years, 194 days, Profar is the third youngest player to every play with the Rangers. The last player to be a teenager with the Rangers was Ivan Rodriguez in 1991.

"It's great to be with these guys," Profar said. "It's special. It was kind of a surprise to me. I was thinking about it a little bit but I wasn't expecting it.
