The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Caleb Ferguson on the 10-day injured list with an oblique issue and activated Rich Hill on Sunday. Hill is starting the series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates in what’s his 2019 debut.
He began the season on the 10-day injured list due to a strained MCL in his left knee. Hill suffered the injury near the end of what wound up being his final Cactus League start on March 17. Pain persisted in a bullpen session two days later, which prompted an MRI that revealed the injury.
Although Hill was unable to begin the season on the active roster, he managed to keep his arm in shape by playing in catch.
