Ever since the Los Angeles Dodgers traded for him at the deadline in 2016, start Rich Hill has been plagued by blister issues on the fingers of his throwing hand.
Hill lasted just two pitches in his start over the weekend against the Washington Nationals before being removed from the game because the blister on his left middle finger ripped open. It was the same finger Hill dealt with inflammation and an infection in last month.
The Dodgers placed the veteran left-hander on the 10-day disabled list, and manager Dave Roberts estimated that the injury would cause Hill to miss around four weeks, although now that seems to be up in the air.
