Ji-Man Choi on Rays' bench Wednesday afternoon

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman/designated hitter Ji-Man Choi is not starting in Wednesday afternoon's series finale versus left-hander Robbie Ray and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Yandy Diaz is starting at first base and Nate Lowe is in the DH spot, so Choi is grabbing pine.

numberFire's models expect Choi to record 12 homers, 41 RBI, and 37 runs scored over the rest of the season.
