Choo went 3-for-4 with a double as the Rangers were defeated by Minnesota on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Serving as the leadoff hitter, Choo continued to get on base and has now hit safely in his last five games, going 8-for-23 with three doubles and a homer over that stretch. The 36-year-old has produced a solid .284/.377/.492 slash line along with 13 home runs and seven stolen bases.

Choo went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in a 15-6 loss to the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was his first since June 16, with Choo managing a tepid .259/.333/.345 during his 15-game power drought. On the season, the 36-year-old has gone yard 13 times in 82 games, and his .859 OPS would be his best mark since 2013.

Updating a previous report, Choo will start in right field and lead off Sunday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Choo had been scheduled to receive the series finale off, but Asdrubal Cabrera's (back) late scratch forced the Rangers to alter those plans. Logan Forsythe will replace Cabrera at third base while Danny Santana shifts from right field to the keystone to accommodate Choo.

Choo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Choo will get a breather as a result of the day game after the night game along with the Rays bringing a tough lefty (Blake Snell) to the hill for the series finale. Willie Calhoun will step in for Choo as the Rangers' designated hitter.

Choo is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Choo will get what appears to be a regular day off after starting the past 14 games, slashing .283/.415/.415 with one home run, three stolen bases and a 9:10 BB:K during that stretch. In his place, Willie Calhoun is starting at DH, while Joey Gallo, Delino DeShields and Nomar Mazara are manning the outfield.

Choo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Sunday's 11-3 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

After five straight turns in the leadoff role, Choo shifted down a spot with manager Chris Woodward inserting speedster Delino DeShields atop the lineup. The arrangement didn't have a negative impact on Choo, who left the yard for the first time since June 4 for his 12th home run on the season. Even at age 36, Choo remains an on-base machine, and he should also clear the 20-homer plateau for the fourth time in five years if health prevails.

Choo went 0-for-1 with three walks, was hit by a pitch twice and stole a base in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Choo has always had a knack for getting on base, some of which happens by getting hit by pitches -- his 10 in 2019 are tied for second and 142 career HBP ranks 26th in MLB history. Both traits contribute to him being an ideal leadoff hitter. He leads the Rangers with a .386 on-base percentage (21st in MLB) and 46 runs scored (16th).

Choo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Choo missed a pair of games last week after taking a pitch off his hand, but he returned to play three games over the weekend. He'll get a rest Monday, with Hunter Pence serving as the designated hitter and Danny Santana playing left field.

Choo started at designated hitter for both games of Saturday's doubleheader. He went 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in the afternoon, then went 0-for-3 in the nightcap.

EDGE Analysis

Choo missed two games after taking a pitch off his hand Wednesday. He has not had a hit in his last 11 at-bats.

Choo (hand) is hitting leadoff and starting at designated hitter in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

He underwent an MRI on Friday but is apparently fine to get back in action for this doubleheader. It would not be surprising to see Choo get the night game off.
