The Rangers have informed Jurickson Profar that he will begin the season with Triple-A Round Rock.
Profar was sent down along with Jim Adduci, Eli Whiteside and Nate Robertson.
He is considered among baseball's top prospects.
Leury Garcia will fill the back-up infielder role with Texas -- general manager Jon Daniels said he could play second base, shortstop and center field.
