On the same day the Los Angeles Dodgers faced their all-too-familiar trouble against left-handed pitching, another recurring theme from 2016 reared its head. Rich Hill was placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a blister on the middle finger of his left hand.
It’s the same issue that caused Hill to miss five weeks, which delayed his Dodgers debut, last season. However, Hill nor the Dodgers believe his latest bout with the blister is anywhere near as serious.
He noticed the heat and irritated skin in the fourth inning of his first regular-season start.
