The day that many a frustrated Texas Rangers fan had been pining for arrived Wednesday, when Jurickson Profar started at second base in place of Rougned Odor.
Alas, it was only an unfavorable matchup for the left-handed-hitting Odor that put him on the bench at Oakland Coliseum and not a change of direction for the Rangers with their struggling $49.5 million man.
Odor will be back in the lineup Thursday for the series finale against the Oakland A's, and Profar will still be the utility infielder biding his time for a regular spot in the major leagues.
