Choo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Choo followed Scott Heineman's lead in pursuit of a ninth-inning rally, cutting the Rangers' deficit in half with a 425-foot, two-run homer. Unfortunately, that would be the final run of the night for Texas. On the season, Choo leads the Rangers in on-base percentage (.368) and runs scored (89) while tallying a career-high 24 home runs.

Choo went 3-for-3 with three singles Sunday in the Rangers' 6-1 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Choo reached on all four of his plate appearances, as he was also hit by his AL-leading 17th pitch of the season in addition to churning out three base knocks. The veteran could be subject to more frequent off days over the final two weeks of the season as the non-contending Rangers wind things down, but Choo has already justified his draft-day investment for fantasy managers. The 37-year-old's .268 average is his highest mark since 2015, and he's remained a useful source of counting stats with 22 home runs, 12 steals, 85 runs and 57 RBI.
