The Texas Rangers have placed Shin-Soo Choo on the 15-day disabled list with lower back inflammation, according to Evan P. Grant of the Dallas Morning News.
The 34-year-old received an injection Wednesday and could return to action as soon as he's eligible in 15 days.
Choo has struggled to stay healthy this season with Texas, appearing in only 33 games out of a possible 95 in 2016. He missed the first three games following the All-Star break in mid-July with tightness in his lower back, after missing a sizable amount of time between April and June with calf and hamstring issues.
The outfielder is slashing .260/.372/.472 this season with Texas with seven home runs.
