"We just didn't feel we could get him ready," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.
Profar instead will be sent to the instructional league in Arizona to continue his throwing program. The instructional league begins on Sept. 13 and the Rangers are hoping Profar will be able to play in the Arizona Fall League. He is on the Surprise Sagueros roster and their first game is Oct. 13.
