Hoying will sign with the KT Wiz of the KBO for the remainder of the season, Daniel Kim of MBC Sports+ reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying's contract was selected by the Blue Jays last week, but he was quickly sent back to the minors. The 32-year-old will now return to the KBO, where he had been playing since 2017.

The Blue Jays optioned Hoying to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying's demotion clears a spot on the active roster for Teoscar Hernandez (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list in a corresponding move. During his brief time with Toronto, Hoying logged three plate appearances over two games in what marked the 32-year-old outfielder's first big-league action since 2017.

Hoying's contract was selected by the Blue Jays on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying spent the last few seasons overseas, but he signed a minor-league contract with Toronto at the end of May. He hit .333 with three home runs and seven RBI in seven games with Triple-A Buffalo and will now join the major-league roster. The 32-year-old should serve mainly as a depth option but could see some playing time in the outfield while Teoscar Hernandez and Jonathan Davis are on the paternity list.

Hoying signed with the Hanwha Eagles of the KBO for $700,000, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old outfielder has seen time in the majors with the Rangers in each of the last two seasons, but never profiled as more than a fourth or fifth outfielder. He hit .220/.262/.288 with one home run and four steals in 126 MLB plate appearances. It is a one-year deal, so he could attempt to come back stateside later this decade.

The Angels agreed to release Hoying from his minor-league contract Sunday, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying was inked less than a month ago to bolster the team's organizational outfield depth, but with a path to the majors somewhat muddled, the 28-year-old plans to pursue his options elsewhere. According to Adams, Hoying has drawn interest from the Korean Baseball Organization, where he would likely be able to secure a more sizable guaranteed contract.

Hoying signed a minor-league deal with the Angels that includes an invite to spring training, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

He had been back and forth between Triple-A and the majors with the Rangers over the last two years, but hit the market after being removed from the 40-man roster. Hoying, 28, has a career .220/.262/.288 slash line with one home run and four steals in 126 plate appearances in the majors. His top asset is his speed on the bases. The Angels have a firm trio in the outfield, but they lack much proven depth, so Hoying could once again reach the majors in 2018.

Hoying cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying has been up and down with the Rangers multiple times over the past two seasons, compiling a combined .220/.262/.288 line in 126 plate appearances. The 28-year-old has hit a combined .254/.308/.465 across five seasons with Triple-A Round Rock.

Hoying was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying spent some time with the big club earlier in the year but was never able to get things going, slashing just .210/.254/.290 in 62 at-bats before being returned to the minors. He'll serve as outfield depth for the remainder of the season.

Hoying was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoying spent a good amount of time in the starting lineup while Carlos Gomez was out of commission, but with plenty of other outfield options available at manager Jeff Banister's disposal, the 28-year-old will return to the minors. During his cup of coffee with the Rangers, Hoying only managed to hit .210 while striking out 20 times in 62 at-bats. He'll likely dwell in the minors as an organizational depth piece until another injury strikes the big-league outfield.

Hoying is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

With no designated hitter spot available for the three-game series in Washington, the Rangers have prioritized offense over defense in starting Delino DeShields in center field, relegating Hoying to a bench role. At least until Mike Napoli (back) returns from the disabled list, there should be room for both Hoying and DeShields in the lineup when the Rangers resume play against American League clubs.
