Hoeing (elbow) will undergo flexor tendon surgery and miss the entire 2026 season, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoeing was shut down from throwing earlier this month and has now opted for season-ending surgery. The 29-year-old right-hander spent the bulk of his 2025 campaign with Triple-A El Paso but pitched in seven games out of the bullpen for the Padres, turning in a 3.38 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB across eight innings.

Hoeing (elbow) expects to decide whether he'll undergo surgery "relatively quickly", Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoeing was shut down from throwing at the beginning of March after experiencing discomfort in his right elbow during a live bullpen session, and it's now being reported that surgery is on the table. The Padres expect the right-hander to make a decision in the near future, and he's also working to rehab the injury in the event he chooses to go a non-surgical route.

Hoeing has been shut down after feeling discomfort in his elbow during a recent live bullpen session, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Padres pitching coach Ruben Niebla didn't give a timeline for how long Hoeing will remain shut down, but he said Sunday, "We don't think it's as serious (as it could be), but we have to be conscious and take a look at it and be able to make the right assessments." With Opening Day less than four weeks away, Hoeing's availability for the start of the season is in question, as is that of Yuki Matsui's (groin), which could test San Diego's bullpen depth early. Hoeing hadn't yet appeared in a spring game prior to getting hurt.

The Padres optioned Hoeing to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoeing has yielded three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over eight frames since returning from a shoulder injury. He was a key reliever for the Padres last season and should be back up with the big club before long.

The Padres reinstated Hoeing (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoeing is available to make his 2025 debut against the Royals on Saturday after spending the entire season on the injured list due to a right shoulder strain that he suffered in February. He did not yield a run over his last three rehab outings with Triple-A El Paso, and it was enough for him to be given the green light to return to the Padres' bullpen. Hoeing was acquired by the Padres from the Marlins in July of 2024, and across 18 regular-season games with San Diego he posted a 1.52 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

Hoeing (shoulder) began a new rehab assignment June 7, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Hoeing first began a rehab stint in May, but he wasn't adequately built up by the end of that assignment, so he began another one shortly thereafter. The right-hander has thus far appeared in three games with Triple-A El Paso during his second minor-league stint, allowing three runs with a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings. Hoeing has yet to pitch on back-to-back days, however, and that may be a requirement before San Diego is ready to activate him.

Hoeing (shoulder) struck out two batters and allowed one hit over a scoreless inning in his latest rehab appearance Friday with Double-A San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Hoeing began his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and was lit up for six runs (five earned) over 1.1 innings, but he's performed much better since moving up to Double-A last week. He's now tossed a pair of scoreless innings in both of his appearances for San Antonio, striking out three batters and walking none between those outings. Hoeing may need to build up to two innings and pitch on consecutive days during his rehab assignment before the Padres feel ready to bring him back from the 60-day injured list. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season due to a shoulder strain.

Hoeing (shoulder) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits while striking out one batter in one inning for the ACL Padres in a minor-league rehab outing Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Hoeing's second rehab appearance, and through 1.1 frames he's surrendered six runs (five earned). Nonetheless, the right-hander appears to be working his way back to the big-league bullpen after beginning the season on the IL due to a right shoulder strain. Given the rust Hoeing has shown so far and the fact that he went a week between his first two rehab outings, he'll likely need to make multiple additional minor-league appearances before he is reinstated from the injured list, which could happen in early June.

Hoeing (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Saturday with the Padres' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, retiring one batter while allowing three earned runs on three hits.

EDGE Analysis

Hoeing currently resides on the Padres' 60-day injured list and won't be eligible for activation until late May. The 28-year-old reliever -- who is recovering from a right shoulder strain -- will likely make at least a couple more appearances in the ACL before shifting his rehab assignment to a higher-level affiliate.

The Padres transferred Hoeing (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The move makes room on the Padres' 40-man roster for David Morgan, whose contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio in a corresponding move. Hoeing started the season on the 15-day IL due to a right shoulder strain that he had been dealing with throughout camp. He's in the midst of a throwing program, and his move to the 60-day IL means he won't be eligible to return until late May.
