Rangers' Shin-Soo Choo sitting out with back stiffness

Texas Rangers outfielder/designated hitter Shin-Soo Choo is not in the lineup Sunday due to lower back stiffness.

What It Means:

Choo has played the last 15 consecutive games for Texas but will sit out on Sunday with some minor back stiffness. The Rangers consider him day-to-day and have Mike Napoli playing designated hitter with Ryan Rua at first base against the Oakland Atheltics.

Choo is batting .244 with a .344 wOBA in 141 plate appearances this season.
