Hoes was designated for assignment Tuesday.
The Orioles acquired Efren Navarro in a trade earlier in the day, so Hoes was a casualty of needing to clear space on the 40-man roster. The move comes as somewhat of a surprise, as he was expected to be given the chance to make the big league roster out of spring training, but it now appears more likely he'll start the year in the minors.
