Rays' Ji-Man Choi: Expected to miss time

Choi (knee) is not expected to be ready by Opening Day, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Choi hasn't been officially ruled out, but the team is planning on him missing the start of the season. Yandy Diaz, Mike Brosseau and Yoshi Tsutsugo could see more time at first base in his absence.
