The Rich Hill experiment appears to be over for the Red Sox.
Hill was designated for assignment by Boston in order to make room for pitcher Luis Guerrero on the active roster on Friday.
The 44-year-old Hill recently began his fourth stint with the Red Sox. After sitting out the first few months of the 2024 season in order to coach his son’s Little League team, Hill signed with Boston on Aug. 18. He signed a minor league contract, spending just over a week with Triple-A Worcester before getting called up on Aug. 27.
Hill, who’s been a starting pitcher for the majority of his 20-year MLB career, was exclusively used as a reliever during his brief stint with the Red Sox.
