The Texas Rangers are shutting down Jurickson Profar for a few months in an effort to rehab his right shoulder to get it right before the 2015 season.

Profar has missed the entire season with tear in his teres muscle in his right shoulder.

"Bottom line is we've gone down a similar path before and definitely a level of frustration that we haven't been able to get better answers and to get him back to this point," Jon Daniels said. "This is based on everyone we've consulted with and Jurickson's feeling and preference that he can strengthen his shoulder on his own through a rehab process this is what we think is the best course of action right now."

Daniels said surgery isn't an option right now because there are no guarantees that surgery will fix the problem. Profar hurt the shoulder for the first time in 2010 diving back to a base. He aggravated it again in winter ball last year.
