5 years agoTexas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (oblique) was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday due to muscle tightness in his side. The 37-year old was slated to play in his second spring training game against the Kansas City Royals, but the club decided to sit him down as a precaution. TR Sullivan reported that the team doesn't expect him to miss more than 2-3 days at this point. Choo is in the final year of his deal with Texas and is coming off a season where he had a .826 OPS with 24 home runs and 15 stolen bases. The South Korean has become a forgotten man the past few years in drafts but always seems to be a trendy waiver wire pick at some point during the season.--Euan Leith
