The Dodgers are once again dealing with Hill’s blister problem. After only pitching three innings in Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks, Hill was pulled due to blister inflammation. Hill’s blisters have been a problem since the Dodgers picked him up from the A’s last season. After signing Hill to a three-year contract, many fans hoped the blisters were a thing of the past.
The Dodgers have a few options to fill in for Hill while he’s on the DL, although none of these guys are number two starters. But they can still help out.
Alex Wood got his chance last time Hill was put on the shelf, but he was pulled fairly quickly after surrendering two runs (one earned) and five walks in only 3.
