Ji-Man Choi

Ji-Man Choi was traded from Tampa Bay to Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Choi was almost a strict platoon player for the Rays. As a left-handed hitter, he saw most of his plate appearances against righties, but actually posted better numbers as left-handed pitching. Choi could receive more playing time in Pittsburgh and could be an intriguing late-round pick in draft and hold leagues.

Ji-Man Choi went 3-for-4 with a single, double, and two-run homer against the Red Sox on Wednesday. He also drew a walk in the contest. Tampa Bay ultimately fell to Boston by a score of 6-3 in the regular season finale.

Fantasy Impact

Choi finishes the regular season with a .233/.341/.388 slash line. He contributed 11 homers, 52 RBI, 58 walks, and 123 strikeouts along the way.

Ji-Man Choi went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and two walks in a loss Tuesday to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Choi ripped a Alek Manoah pitch into the second deck in the third inning to give the Rays the lead. The 31-year-old is slashing .233/.341/.384 with 10 home runs and 50 runs batted in this season.

Ji-Man Choi went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Red Sox on Friday evening. He also struck out twice in the contest. Tampa Bay ultimately fell to Boston by a score of 9-8.

Fantasy Impact

This was Choi's first homer since July 27 in Baltimore. He has struggled lately, slashing just .125/.211/.213 with seven RBI, nine walks, and 31 strikeouts through 24 games since the All-Star Break. His fantasy appeal has dwindled quickly.

Rays designated hitter Ji-Man Choi went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Orioles on Wednesday evening. He also struck out and walked once apiece. Tampa Bay ultimately defeated Baltimore by a score of 6-4 in 10 innings.

Fantasy Impact

Choi is slashing .266/.369/.435 with eight homers, 43 RBI, 40 walks, and 78 strikeouts this season. After a strong first few months, he has quieted down, going 10-for-54 (.185) with 18 strikeouts over his last 15 games.
