Rest-of-Season Projections
Suspended 50 games
Hoes was suspended 50 games for testing positive for a drug of abuse for the second time, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Hoes is currently an unsigned free agent, so the suspension will stick if a team decides to pick him up. He hasn't been in the majors since 2015, when he slashed .267/.313/.267 in eight games with the Astros. The 25-year-old spent all of last season with Triple-A Norfolk, and with his slash line of .242/.318/.331 in 396 at-bats coupled with his suspension, it may take awhile for someone to sign him.

Hoes made his first Opening Day roster with the Astros last season on the wrong side of an outfield platoon with Alex Presley. He homered in Houston's first game, but was one of their weakest players on offense overall. In 55 games, he hit a woeful .172 in 122 at-bats. The ineffectiveness of Robbie Grossman and injuries to fellow outfielders Dexter Fowler, George Springer, and Presley could have resulted in more playing time for Hoes, but the Astros went with other options. As is the case with all young players, there's certainly room for Hoes to improve, but at this point of his career, it looks like he'll max out as organizational depth in Houston's upper minors.
