Choo (calf) to DL; prospect Mazara to fill in

ANAHEIM -- The Rangers have called up outfielder Nomar Mazara and catcher Brett Nicholas from Triple-A Round Rock and placed Robinson Chirinos and outfielder Shin-Soo Choo on the disabled list.

Choo is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks with a strained right calf muscle, while Chirinos is expected to be out 10-12 weeks with a fractured right forearm. Chirinos was placed on the 60-day disabled list.

Mazara, a left-handed hitter, is coming up to be the everyday right fielder while Choo is sidelined. He was in the lineup batting second on Sunday.
