Free-agent starting pitcher Rich Hill doesn't have a new team yet, but he does have a timetable for a return from primary revision surgery on the torn UCL in his pitching elbow.
According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), Hill is likely to miss the first half of the 2020 season. Primary revision surgery, which the left-hander opted for instead of Tommy John surgery, "usually requires a shorter recovery time, and Hill is expected to starting throwing by the end of April," the report added.
Hill finished his three-year, $48 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.
