Los Angeles Dodgers starter Rich Hill was in the midst of perhaps the best spring of his career when he went down with a strained MCL in his left knee that forced him to begin the season on the 10-day injured list.
While the injury was obviously a disappointing one for the 39-year-old, it was only believed to keep him out for the first few weeks of the season.
That time has since passed, and Hill is on the verge of being ready to return to the Dodgers rotation. He made his first rehab start with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday night, tossing four shutout innings while allowing just two hits and striking out eight.
