Hoffman will start Sunday's game against the Padres in place of Tyler Anderson (knee), Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is bound for the 10-day DL with left knee inflammation, so Hoffman may be in line for multiple starts if he can impress Sunday. The 2014 first-round pick showed his potential by posting a 3.29 ERA over 13.2 innings for the Rockies earlier this season, numbers he will look to improve upon as he makes his ninth career big league start. Hoffman lasted just 2.2 innings in an outing against San Diego last season, allowing seven runs (none earned) and six hits while throwing 84 pitches.
