Opening for Profar

MLB reduced the suspension of Rougned Odor to seven games, starting with Friday night’s game (tonight). Justin Jurickson Profar takes Odor’s place. Profar was supposed to be a huge prospect for Texas, and made it to the majors in 2012 at the age of 19. He played some in 2013, but injuries derailed his career. He owns a .356 OBP at AAA this season, and with Odor’s suspension he’ll get a chance at the majors again.

Odor is an out machine so if Profar can be a competent lead-off man in this stint, I would not be surprised to see him stick. Odor seems to have a short fuse as well, which won’t help his cause.
