Rangers Place Ian Kinsler on the DL, Call Up Jurickson Profar

Major League Baseball(ARLINGTON, Tex.) -- While the Texas Rangers had to put second baseman Ian Kinsler on the DL, it is paving the way for super-prospect Jurickson Profar to get time on the Major League level.

Kinsler was placed on the DL retroactive to Saturday with a right intercostal sprain. While his bat is an integral part of the Rangers high-powered offense, it opens the door for Profar to show what he can do at the next level.

"Profar's not afraid of the game," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He'll get a chance to play. He's gotten better as the year has progressed."

Heading into the season, Profar was ranked the number one prospect by ESPN.com's Keith Law. Profar was on a hot streak at Triple-A Round Rock, hitting two home runs on Saturday and extended his hitting streak to eight games.

What remains to be seen is what happens when Kinsler is ready to return to the team. The Rangers want Profar playing everyday, so if he plays well with the Rangers, he could force their hand and find playing time for him.

Kinsler was batting .302 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs this season.

Cabrera Homers Three Times, But Tigers Lose to Rangers

Rick Yeatts/Getty Images(ARLINGTON, Texas) --  On a night where Miguel Cabrera seemed unstoppable, Daniel Murphy did just enough to carry his team to victory.

Murphy belted a go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning to lead the Texas Rangers to an 11-8 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night.

Lance Berkman and Adrian Beltre combined to drive in four runs for the Rangers (29-15) who were able to overcome a three home run game from Cabrera.

"Very nice to be on the winning side," Murphy said. "Big game, fun game, national TV. We got to witness the best hitter in the game hit three homers."

The 2012 Triple Crown winner went 4-for-4 with 5 RBIs and now has 11 homers on the year.

Robbie Ross (2-0) pitched a scoreless seventh inning for the win and Joe Nathan closed the door in the ninth for his 13th save.  The Rangers took three-of-four games from the Tigers this weekend.

Jose Ortega (0-1) took the loss for the Tigers.

The Rangers placed second baseman Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list with bruised ribs and called up top prospect Jurickson Profar from Triple-A Round Rock.  He is expected to start for the Rangers Monday night against Oakland.

Rangers Place Kinsler on DL, Call Up Profar

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(ARLINGTON, Texas) -- The Texas Rangers have placed second baseman Ian Kinsler on the 15 day disabled list Sunday, with a strained right rib muscle and called up top prospect Jurickson Profar to take his place.

Kinsler's placement on the DL is retroactive to Friday.

The 30-year-old Kinsler leads the Rangers in hitting with a .302 average. He has also has seven home runs, 20 RBIs and a .369 on-base percentage this season.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels does not expect Kinsler to miss more than 15 days.

With Kinsler down, that allows the Rangers to call up MLB.com's No. 1 overall prospect Jurickson Profar from Triple-A Round Rock.

The 20-year-old Profar is hitting .278 with four home runs, 19 RBIs, six stolen bases and has a .370 OBP in 37 games this season.
