ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have avoided an arbitration hearing with infielder Jurickson Profar by agreeing to a one-year contract. Profar will make $605,000 this season as he continues his recovery from right shoulder surgery.
Profar has missed almost two complete seasons because of a torn muscle in his right shoulder. He underwent surgery on Feb. 23, 2015, and was limited to 12 games as a designated hitter in the Minor Leagues on a medical rehabilitation assignment. He also hit .267 with two home runs and 20 RBIs over 20 games in the Arizona Fall League.
