Choi (shoulder) is not starting Thursday against the Braves, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Choi will stick on the bench for a second straight game as he continues to nurse a sore right shoulder. Per Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network, the first baseman reportedly "feels great" and will be available off the bench if needed. In his place, Mike Brosseau is starting at first base and hitting sixth.
