The Daily Bernie, 7/30/16: Rich Hill set back again

A’s lefty Rich Hill will be unable to make his Sunday start due to his blister, and the Miami Marlins bolstered their rotation, among other news.

Welcome back to the Daily Bernie! It’s the best dance in the game, so let’s get rolling once more!

  • Athletics lefty Rich Hill will not be ready to make his Sunday start, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports. His blister is still “hot”, meaning he also could be a DL candidate, since he could be backdated 10 days. Hill is the top rental starter on the market and one of the best pitchers in the AL this season, so this is very disappointing news for the A’s, who had expected to receive a big return for the veteran prior to the deadline.
