Rangers' Ryan Rua: Platoon role in left field likely

Rua and Jared Hoying will likely platoon in left field for the duration of Shin-Soo Choo's latest injury, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Hoying got the start the Monday against a right-handed pitcher but Rua came off the bench in a pinch-hitting role. A strict platoon would favor the left-handed Hoying, so Rua's playing time may not be as great as initially hoped as the news of Choo's re-injury surfaced.
