Hoying is expected to split time with Ryan Rua in left field for the duration of Shin-Soo Choo's absence, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying got the start against right-handed Nick Tropeano in Monday's game, going hitless in two at-bats from the eighth spot before being lifted for Rua in a pinch-hitting role. Being left-handed, Hoying would be on the good side of a strict-platoon if the Texas elects to dole out playing time in that fashion.
