Hoying is out of the lineup Friday against the Pirates, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Stefan Stevenson reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Hoying will sit with lefty Jon Niese on the mound for Pittsburgh. Ryan Rua is expected to share a left field platoon with Hoying while Shin-Soo Choo is on the DL, with Rua starting against lefties and Hoying starting most of the time against righties.
