Rangers' Shin-Soo Choo: Calf injury continues to improve

Choo (calf) took batting practice for the first time before Monday's game and has done light running for the past two days, Stefan Stevenson of the Dallas Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

Choo will remain with the team during their seven-game road trip before receiving another MRI next week. GM Jon Daniels said the injury was 80 percent healed last week, but the outfielder won't begin a rehab assignment until it's closer to 100 percent. Nonetheless, Choo seems well on the road to recovery.
