17 Shin-Soo Choo DH

Choo went 1-for-3 with a double, three runs scored and two walks in Sunday's 11-10 win over Houston.

The 36-year-old has 12 extra-base hits and 14 runs scored in 66 at-bats this season. Choo has hit under .280 in all five seasons with Texas but currently owns a .318 average and .991 OPS.

Choo went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 12-7 win over the Angels.

Choo has hit safely in eight of 14 games with six of those being of the multi-hit variety. The homer was the first for Choo, who continues to show pop into his mid-30s. The 36-year-old has posted two straight 20-homer campaigns.

Choo is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Choo will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's series finale with no DH spot available in the Diamondbacks' home park. Look for the veteran, who is hitting .286/.390/.486 with five RBI through 10 games, to rejoin the lineup Friday against the A's.

Choo went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two runs, a walk and three RBI in the Rangers' 11-4 win over the Angels on Thursday.

Choo wreaked havoc from atop the order in this contest, lacing a pair of two-baggers and driving in three of the Rangers' runs in the blowout victory. He was off to a slow start, so it was good to see the breakout effort for the 36-year-old veteran, as this multi-hit effort shot his batting average up from .167 to .238 over 21 at-bats.

Choo will be on the bench for the second time in three games Sunday against the Cubs.

Cole Hamels represents the second lefty the Rangers have faced in the first three games of the year, so Choo will again find himself benched in favor of Hunter Pence. The pair appears to be locked into a platoon at the designated hitter spot.
