The Los Angeles Dodgers waited five weeks last season for Rich Hill to make his debut with the team after being acquired in a trade with the Oakland Athletics. Now two weeks into the 2017 season, Los Angeles is awaits a return on their three-year, $48 million investment.
Hill was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday, only to pitch a mere three innings. The same blister that sidelined him last year and again this season, cropped up. “In the middle of the game it started cracking a little bit,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
