Reds OF Choo back in lineup after back spasms

Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo returned to the Cincinnati Reds' lineup after missing nearly a week with back spasms.

He was placed in the leadoff spot for Saturday's exhibition against the Texas Rangers.

Choo struggled with injuries in 2011 and was limited to 313 at-bats in 85 games. He bounced back last year with 598 at-bats in 155 games and batted .283 with 16 home runs and 67 RBI with the Cleveland Indians.
