Choo Injured During Pregame Warm-Up
Saturday, April 9
The Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant reported the Rangers will re-evaluate Choo's calf to determine the extent of the injury.
Grant also supplied the updated lineup for Saturday's game with Choo's injury:
Choo battled ankle injuries and missed 39 games during the 2014 campaign but was healthier and showed improvement last season. The 33-year-old veteran batted .276 with 22 home runs and 82 RBI, including a .404 batting average in the month of September.
In surveying the club's official depth chart, Joey Gallo figures to take Choo's spot for now. Gallo is only 22 years old and boasts some pop at the plate, which was evident when he hit six home runs in just 108 at-bats in 2015.
The game reps could well help accelerate Gallo's development and allow Choo to take his time recovering.
