Choi Activated From Injured List
The Rays also activated first baseman Ji-Man Choi from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday’s contest in Chicago.
The 30-year-old first baseman went on the 10-day injured list June 4, retroactive to June 3, with a strained left groin, and missed one day over the minimum.
To make room on the active roster for Choi, infielder Mike Brosseau was optioned to Triple-A Durham.
