17 Shin-Soo Choo DH

Choo went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Sunday against the Angels.

Choo extended his hitting streak to five games and recorded his third three-hit game in his past seven starts. He continues to get on base at a prolific rate -- he has a .396 on-base percentage -- and while he has failed to homer since July 30, Choo has six doubles in 56 August at-bats.

Choo is not in the lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Choo's regular designated hitter role will be filled by Adrian Beltre, who has recovered from his hamstring strain enough to hit but not take the field. It's unclear when Beltre will be able to vacate the DH spot, but Choo can of course also play the outfield if necessary.

Choo is not in the lineup versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

Choo will retreat to the bench after going 0-for-2 with three walks and one run scored during Tuesday's affair. Adrian Beltre will serve as the DH while Jurickson Profar nabs a start at third base for the series finale.

Choo will sit for the first time in over three weeks Saturday against the Orioles.

Choo is hitting just .186 since the All-Star break. Adrian Beltre will be the Rangers' designated hitter Saturday, with Jurickson Profar filling in at third base.

Choo went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's 9-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Choo busted out of a 4-for-36 slide in a big way Monday, launching homers number 19 and 20. It's the third time in last four seasons the 35-year-old has crossed the 20-homer threshold. The one season he didn't reach 20 was the injury-marred 2016 campaign when he had just seven in 48 games.
