Hoes is yet another outfield piece to this supposed platoon puzzle. It is unclear how much more regular playing time he will see, or whether or not he may possibly be put out for a potential trade posturing. Whatever the case may be, Hoes is certainly a player for fantasy holders to keep a close eye on.

The continued outfield platooning while Springer is injured has allowed for Hoes to get his feet wet. He has made some key hits when they have mattered most. However, some speculate this could be a posturing for the trade deadline. Keep an eye on Hoes, but don't actively invest in him until known for sure what will happen to him.

Fantasy holders will certainly want to keep an eye on Hoes!

Hoes getting the start in right field for the injured George Springer was a good call made by skipper A.J. Hinch. He played solid defense, as well as nabbing those two hits. Though he may not get another regular start for a while, fantasy holders will want to keep track of this talented outfielder.

L.J. Hoes had his right hand and wrist hit by a pitch from Marlins reliever, Aaron Crow on Saturday afternoon. Hoes is scheduled to have X-Rays done to determine the extent of the injury.

Hoes was not slated to be on the big league roster opening day due to the logjam in the outfield. With this injury, the setback for him may run even longer than anticipated.
