Choi Feeling Better, Could Be Activated Before Weekend’s End

Rays manager Kevin Cash said that first baseman Ji-Man Choi, who has been on the injured list with a strained left groin, is feelimg much improved.  Choi ran and took ground balls om the field today and is slated to do so again on Wednesday.  The team will make a determination later this week whether the 30-year-old will go on rehab assignment to Port Charlotte to get some at-bats.

Choi felt good enough after his workout on the field to have a little fun with the media interviewing reliever Ryan Thompson.
