Keys' Hoes sidelined with strep throat

Single-A Frederick Keys second baseman L.J. Hoes is expected to miss a few more days due to strep throat, according to the team.

Hoes, who is batting .290 with one home run and 20 RBIs in 35 games this season, hasn't played since Saturday. He is currently second on the Keys with eight doubles and tied for third with 22 runs scored.

The 20-year-old infielder hit .260 with two home runs and 47 RBIs in 119 games with the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds in 2009. Hoes had 19 doubles and 20 stolen bases for Delmarva.

Your rundown of Hoes' numbers don't come close to doing him justice: he's got a 23:16 BB:K ratio and a .414 OBP.

About the bloggers

A Baltimore native, Dan Connolly has been covering sports for 14 years, and baseball and the Orioles for 10 seasons, including the past six with The Sun. His first year covering baseball on a daily basis was Cal Ripken Jr.'s final season as a player. It's believed that is just a coincidence.

Steve Gould is an assistant sports editor for The Sun, overseeing Orioles coverage. The Columbia native joined The Sun as a sports copy editor in 2006 after graduating from the University of Maryland.

Peter Schmuck has been covering baseball for a lot longer than Steve Gould has been on this earth. He is now a general sports columnist, but has been a beat writer covering three major league teams (the Dodgers, Angels and Orioles) and also spent a decade as the Sun's national baseball writer.
