Ji-Man Choi

Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi went 1-for-4 with an RBI single against the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon. He also struck out once in the contest. Tampa Bay ultimately defeated Toronto by a score of 3-0.

Fantasy Impact

Choi is slashing .262/.375/.426 with two homers, 12 RBI, 11 walks, and 26 strikeouts this season. He only has fantasy relevance in deeper leagues or AL-only formats.

According to manager Kevin Cash, Ji-Man Choi is ready to rejoin the Rays on Sunday. Choi has been on the IL due to loose bodies in his right elbow.

Fantasy Impact

Choi got off to a scorching start this season prior to the injury. In 53 plate appearances, he’s batting .357/.491/.595 with two HRs and ten RBI. The Rays and fantasy managers will be happy to see him back in the lineup soon.

Rays 1B Ji-Man Choi has been placed on the 10-day IL with loose bodies in his right elbow. The move is retroactive to April 28th. INF Isaac Paredes was recalled from the taxi squad.

Fantasy Impact

This is a tough blow for Choi who has enjoyed a hot start to the season, hitting .357 with a 226 wRC+. Yandy Diaz figures to be the primary 1B while Choi is out.

Ji-Man Choi went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, and three RBI on Tuesday against the A's.

Fantasy Impact

Choi is batting a cool .615 this season with a 1.706 OPS and a .708 wOBA. None of that is sustainable, of course, and he'll come back down to Earth soon. Choi is a league average player who could top out at 20 home runs if everything broke right. In other words, he's relevant in deep AL-only leagues but nothing more.

Ji-Man Choi went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in a 7-0 win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Choi came into Wednesday struggling at the plate having gone just 1-for-22 over his previous eight games. The 30-year-old first baseman is hitting .230 with 11 homers and 45 RBI through 80 games this season.
