Shin-Soo Choo in starting lineup for ALDS Game 1

Shin-Soo Choo was a player of mystery for the playoffs, as it was unclear whether he would be on the active roster for the ALDS, given he was activated from the disabled list for just the final three games of the season after missing almost two months with a broken arm.

However, Choo is in today’s lineup against the Jays, and is batting ninth. The lineup:

Gomez — LF

Desmond — CF

Beltran — DH

Beltre -- 3B

Odor — 2B

Lucroy — C

Moreland — 1B

Elvis — SS

Choo — RF

Cole Hamels takes the mound against Marco Estrada for the Jays.
