Texas Rangers’ Jurickson Profar Dealing with Injury as Spring Training Looms

Rangers’ Jurickson Profar will begin spring training behind the rest of the infielders because of shoulder tendinitis.

The second baseman should be able to DH during Cactus League games that begin in a few weeks. He’ll then take time to get comfortable at second base.

It’s the first season Profar will handle the position after the Rangers dealt Ian Kinsler to the Tigers to acquire Prince Fielder.
