Royals' Rich Hill: Struggles in loss Friday
Hill (3-1) took the loss Friday against Triple-A Durham, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks across five innings. He struck out six.
Hill turned in his roughest outing for Triple-A Omaha in four starts at the level, struggling with command and surrendering frequent hard contact. The 45-year-old now holds a 4.34 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over six starts and 29 innings between the Arizona Complex League and Triple-A this season. The veteran southpaw had a June 15 opt-out clause but chose to remain with the Royals organization. However, should a major-league offer come his way from another team, the Royals "will not stand in his way," Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Royals' Rich Hill: Signs minors pact with Royals
Hill signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Tuesday.
The 45-year-old lefty will report to the Royals' spring training complex before eventually joining Triple-A Omaha. Hill logged 3.2 innings across four relief appearances with Boston last year while averaging 86.5 mph on his fastball.

Rich Hill: Would like to pitch in 2025
Hill would like to pitch for a major-league team in 2025, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Hill, who will turn 45 in March, signed with the Red Sox in August but was released after allowing two runs over 3.2 innings. The left-hander is currently pitching for the United States in the WBSC Premier12 tournament, most recently throwing four scoreless innings in a start against Japan. Hill could very well get another opportunity with a major-league club in 2025, although it would almost surely be on a minor-league contract.

Rich Hill: Let go by Boston
Hill was released by the Red Sox on Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Hill was designated for assignment by the team Friday, but he'll now officially hit the open market. The left-hander made four appearances with Boston, producing a 4.91 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with five strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Red Sox's Rich Hill: Designated for assignment
Hill was designated for assignment Friday, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.
Hill had a 4.91 ERA, five strikeouts and three walks in 3.2 innings over four appearances for Boston. It's possible this is the last we see of the 44-year-old lefty in the majors.

Red Sox's Rich Hill: Used out of bullpen
Hill struck out two over 1.1 scoreless relief innings in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Toronto.
Hill closed out the seventh inning by striking out Daulton Varsho with a runner on base, then threw a 1-2-3 eighth. He agreed to a minor-league deal with Boston earlier this month and worked his way back to the big leagues. Thursday's appearance made 2024 the 20th consecutive year in which the left-hander has appeared in an MLB game. While he's been mainly a starter throughout his career, Hill is expected to work out of the Red Sox bullpen.

Red Sox's Rich Hill: Officially recalled
The Red Sox selected Hill's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The 44-year-old Hill will make his 2024 big-league debut after throwing a pair of scoreless innings in his lone appearance with Worcester. Despite operating as a starter for most of his career, Hill is slated to come out of the bullpen for the Red Sox.

Red Sox's Rich Hill: Expected to be called up
The Red Sox selected Hill's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Hill made just one appearance with Worcester after inking a minor-league contract in mid-August, tossing two scoreless innings on Aug. 23. The 44-year-old threw 28 pitches in the appearance, so he's not ready to be used as a traditional starter initially. Hill posted a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 146.1 innings with the Pirates and Padres in 2023.

Red Sox's Rich Hill: Logs two scoreless innings
Hill walked one and struck out two over two scoreless innings for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
Hill made his debut for the WooSox after the 44-year-old left-hander signed a minor-league deal with the Red Sox a week ago. He threw 28 pitches (15 strikes). The organization will evaluate Hill's outings in the minors to determine if he should be called up to bolster the pitching staff down the stretch. There could be a rotation opportunity for Hill after the Red Sox transferred James Paxton (calf) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Red Sox's Rich Hill: First Triple-A start Friday
Hill will start for Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Chris Henrique of Beyond the Monster reports.
It's the first start this season for Hill, who inked a minor-league contract with the Red Sox last week. It will be an abbreviated outing for Hill, with Brad Keller following him in a piggyback situation. The 44-year-old will likely need multiple appearances with Worcester before Boston considers adding him to its roster.

Red Sox's Rich Hill: Agrees to minors deal with Boston
The Red Sox signed Hill to a minor-league contract Friday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Hill turned 44 in March and has not pitched anywhere this season. However, he had maintained hope of eventually landing a deal with a contender and now is back for what would be his fourth stint with the Red Sox, assuming he's eventually added to the major-league roster. The left-hander has been throwing on his own and is expected to join Triple-A Worcester next week. With James Paxton (calf) likely done for the season, Hill could get a shot to be Boston's fifth starter down the stretch.

Rich Hill: Still hoping to pitch in 2024
Hill said in an interview Wednesday with David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports that he has been ramping up during bullpen sessions and is preparing to sign with a team in August.
Coming off a 2023 season in which he struggled to a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 146.1 innings with the Pirates and Padres, the 44-year-old Hill isn't yet ready to close the book on his playing career. He made it clear over the winter that he didn't intend to sign anywhere until around midseason so that he could coach his son's Little League team in the spring, but given his age and poor form to close out the 2023 season, interest in Hill likely would have been minimal had he committed to joining a team before spring training. Though the veteran southpaw now feels like he'll be ready to contribute soon, he'll most likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency and prove himself against Triple-A competition before he gets another look in the majors.

Padres' Rich Hill: Plans to continue career
Hill plans to continue his playing career in 2024, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Hill made the revelation on Bradford's "Baseball Isn't Boring" podcast. The 43-year-old left-hander didn't have a great 2023 campaign, posting a 5.41 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 129:58 K:BB over 146.1 innings for the Pirates and Padres. Hill will turn 44 shortly after Opening Day next year but should be able to find a club willing to give him a one-year contract.

Padres' Rich Hill: Secures extra-inning win
Hill (8-14) picked up the win in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning game against the White Sox. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out three over two innings.
This was Hill's second appearance out of the bullpen since going unclaimed on waivers Sept. 14, and his first win since he was starting for the Pirates in June. The southpaw wrapped his season with a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 146.1 innings with 129 strikeouts. The 43-year-old Hill enters free agency with uncertainty regarding his future; however, his 3.38 ERA in a limited sample of 10 innings as a reliever may be enticing enough to teams looking to bolster their bullpen with a multi-inning arm.

Padres' Rich Hill: Banished to bullpen
Hill worked in relief Sunday in the Padres' 12-2 loss to the Astros, striking out three while giving up two unearned runs on one hit and two walks over three innings.
After failing to escape the second inning while serving up six earned runs in his most recent start Sept. 4 versus the Phillies, Hill was bypassed for the start Sunday in favor of Matt Waldron. Though Waldron was dealt the loss after giving up four earned runs in five innings, he might have performed well enough to maintain the rotation spot over Hill, who lowered his ERA on Sunday but needed 55 pitches just to record his nine outs. Since joining the Padres in an Aug. 1 deal with the Pirates, Hill has gone 0-4 with a 9.27 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 22.1 innings over seven appearances (five starts).
