Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and designated hitter Willie Calhoun will rest on Tuesday versus the Oakland Athletics. Choo has really been in a slump with just three hits over his first 20 at-bats. Calhoun has also been stuck in a rut and only has one hit in 18 at-bats. Choo will be replaced by Adolis Garcia in left field and he will bat in the number eight spot. Rob Refsnyder will bat ninth and replace Calhoun as the designated hitter. The Rangers will need Choo and Calhoun to get ...

Texas Rangers outfielders Shin Soo-Choo and Willie Calhoun are both in Friday's lineup against the San Francisco Giants. Choo is off to a slow start to 2020, as he is just 1-for-13 with one RBI in five games while Calhoun is hitless in 11 at-bats. Perhaps both players can get going in a favorable matchup against right-hander Logan Webb, who had a 5.22 ERA in eight starts last year. Robinson Chirinos is also in the lineup, batting eighth.

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is getting a breather versus Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland on Sunday. Willie Calhoun will DH and bat seventh while Nick Solak will play left field and bat in the two-hole. Choo is 1-for-8 with a walk and an RBI in the early going this season and will likely sit versus southpaws regularly. The 38-year-old hasn't shown much age in recent seasons and should contribute excellent fantasy numbers batting leadoff for the Rangers in 2020.

Expect Choo to start as the designated hitter or out in right field as 82.6 percent of his ...

The veteran outfielder batted .265 with 24 homers, 61 RBI and 92 runs scored while adding 15 stolen bases in 151 games.

We expect hell be 100% before spring training," general manager Jon Daniels said. Choo was extremely productive in 2019, hitting .265/.371/.455 with a career-high 24 home runs in 151 games. He's set ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo went 3-for-3 in a loss to the A's Sunday afternoon.

His strikeout rate for the month is over 30 percent and it's come with the help of a .438 BABIP. His next two matchups ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Choo is getting a routine day off with the left-handed starter on the mound. Danny Santana will cover right field and bat fifth versus lefty Brendan McKay. Santana has been in a bit of a slump lately, so he's not the best DFS option for this one.

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo went 3-for-6 with a run and two RBI against the Orioles on Sunday. Choo has quietly posted a good season for fantasy owners batting .265 with 21 home runs, and 82 runs scored in 136 games. Where Choo really shines in fantasy is leagues that reward on-base percentage or give points for walks as he is sporting a .368 OBP thanks to an outstanding 11.6 percent walk rate. Choo is a consistent starting outfielder in fantasy who should be owned in most 12-team ...
