Bryan Hoeing Still Not Throwing
San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) is still not throwing. Hoeing is battling shoulder soreness and has yet to throw once during camp. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during camp, but given that he has yet to throw, he may face an uphill battle to be cleared for Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, it was reported that the team views Hoeing as a bullpen piece to begin the season. Last season, the 28-year-old posted a strong 2.18 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP across 53 2/3 innings. He tallied 43 punchouts and showed strong command with a 6.7 percent walk rate. However, he did generate a hefty 5.07 xERA and a .287 xBA, which suggests he could face some regression when he does return to the bump. Hoeing will not carry much fantasy value in a long relief role.
