Choice re-signed with the Nexen Heroes of the Korean Baseball Organization on a one-year deal in November, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Choice, who last surfaced in the big leagues in 2015 with the Rangers, saw his career stateside stall out due to his poor contact rates, with the Orioles cutting him lose last May after he struggled with their Triple-A affiliate. He ultimately latched on in the KBO last July and enjoyed a productive stint with the Heroes, slashing .307/.390/.653 with 17 home runs and 42 RBI. The 28-year-old will head back to Korea in 2018 and could generate renewed interest from MLB teams with another strong showing abroad.

Choice was released by the Orioles on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Choice signed a minor-league deal with the O's in February after a disappointing 2016 campaign with Cleveland. The outfielder played in 11 games for Norfolk this year, but managed a sad .038/.219/.077 slash line over 11 games and 32 plate appearances. Choice, 27, has 96 MLB games under his belt, which should help him catch on with a new club.

Choice signed a minor league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old outfielder spent 2016 in the Indians organization, although it was a fairly disappointing year given his lack of success (.246 batting average, 29.3 percent strikeout rate) and his injury issues that limited him to just 71 games. The Orioles have plenty of better options for their major league outfield, so Choice will likely be relegated to an organizational depth role in 2017.

Choice went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in his return from the disabled list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Choice had been on the DL since May 6 due to an abductor strain, but he was able to return in a big way after about two and a half weeks on the shelf. Barring any more injuries, the 26-year-old should be able to slot back into his regular role as an outfielder for Triple-A Columbus.

Choice was placed on the disabled list Friday with a right abductor strain.
EDGE Analysis
Less than a month after being placed on the disabled list with a hamstring strain, Choice's luck isn't getting any better this season. Prior to this new injury, the outfielder was batting .257 with four doubles through 10 games, although this injury could keep him on the shelf for a decent chunk of time considering how much his legs have already taken a beating this season between this and the aforementioned hamstring injury.

Choice is slashing .257/.278/.371 with four doubles through 10 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Choice started off the season hitless through his first three games, but has come on nicely and is currently in the midst of a four-game hit streak. He'll continue to act as organizational depth in the outfield for the Indians going forward.

Choice was placed on the Triple-A disabled list Monday with a right hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Choice left Sunday's game versus Indianapolis in the 11th inning after chasing down a triple in the outfield. It's unclear if that's the play that caused the injury or if it developed earlier in the contest, but the outfielder will be on the shelf for a brief period of time. His return date should become clearer once he begins testing his hamstring again.

Choice was assigned to minor league camp Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Choice was among five players reassigned Friday, and he'll likely head to Triple-A Columbus, though the team is yet to specify the level a which he'll begin the season.

Choice (hamstring) returned to action Tuesday for the first time since February 29.
EDGE Analysis
Choice was a long shot to earn a spot on the major league roster and a setback early in camp certainly didn't help his cause. He's likely ticketed for minor-league camp in the coming weeks as he figures to open the season at Triple-A Columbus.
