Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's home game against the Oakland Athletics.
It's a routine day off for Choo, and Willie Calhoun will serve as the designated hitter while Ryan Rua starts in left field.
Choo is slashing .260/.354/.417 through 147 games in 2017, and numberFire's models project him to bat .263 while adding 1 home run and 2 RBI in 22 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
