Thu Oct 5 202318:51Rich Hill Not Ready To Retire
San Diego Padres left-hander Rich Hill intends to pitch again next season. The well-traveled 43-year-old seems to feel he's got some more left in the tank ahead of free agency, despite registering the worst ERA (5.41) and WHIP (1.52) over his 146 1/3 innings pitched in a decade of play. Hill looked his age after joining San Diego for the stretch run, slinging to a ghastly 8.23 ERA and 1.72 WHIP in 27 1/3 IP. We'll have to wait and see where the southpaw's merry-go-round will land him next, after pitching for 13 MLB teams throughout the course of his journeyman career, but Hill shouldn't be fantasy relevant in 2024 drafts.

Tue Sep 12 202316:17Padres Put Rich Hill On Waivers
The San Diego Padres put left-hander Rich Hill on waivers on Tuesday to see if another team will pick him up for the last few weeks of the regular season, according to a source. If nobody comes calling, he'll remain with the Padres for the rest of the year. The 43-year-old just hasn't been good in 29 appearances (27 saves) for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Padres in 2023, so there's a good chance he'll go unclaimed. The 43-year-old southpaw was acquired from Pittsburgh in a trade in early August, and he's been even worse in his time in San Diego, giving up 25 runs (23 earned) on 31 hits (eight home runs) while walking 10 and striking out 19 in 22 1/3 innings over seven outings (five starts). Hill is well over the hill and doesn't appear to have much left in his career.

Tue Aug 29 202314:06Rich Hill Returning To Padres Rotation On Wednesday
San Diego Padres left-hander Rich Hill will return to the starting rotation for the Friars on Wednesday to face the St. Louis Cardinals on the road. The Padres need another starter after they placed right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow) on the 15-day injured list on Monday. Hill will have a solid matchup against the disappointing Cardinals in his return to a starting role this week, but the 43-year-old southpaw has also gone 0-3 with an ugly 9.53 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in his first three starts with San Diego after coming over from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a deadline deal. In 14 innings for the Padres, he's surrendered 14 earned runs on 18 hits (five home runs) while walking five and striking out 11. We wouldn't recommend him as a DFS streamer.

Wed Aug 23 202321:37Rich Hill Won't Start On Saturday
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Rich Hill won't take the ball versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. The team has decided to skip Hill in the rotation after he allowed 12 runs over his first three starts with the Padres. The veteran left-hander has looked completely lost since being acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates at the trade deadline. In his absence, Pedro Avila will take the ball this weekend versus Milwaukee.

Thu Aug 17 202319:03Rich Hill Seeking Answers Versus Arizona
The San Diego Padres and starting pitcher Rich Hill start up a pivotal four-game series with the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. The 43-year-old's Friars career hasn't gotten off on the right foot thus far, giving up nine runs in 6.1 innings pitched over two starts. Hill labored through 3.1 frames against the D-backs in his time out, and the journeyman owns a 6.27 ERA to go with a 1-9 record in 14 lifetime starts (70.1 IP) opposing Arizona. It's Hill's worst career ERA versus any particular NL club. Even on a short Thursday slate, season-long fantasy managers might want to avoid the struggling southpaw.

Thu Aug 3 202320:14Rich Hill To Make Padres Debut Sunday Against Old Team
Left-handed veteran Rich Hill is set to make his debut for the San Diego Padres this Sunday against one of his old teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres landed Hill and first baseman Ji Man Choi from the Pittsburgh Pirates at Tuesday's trade deadline. The 43-year-old southpaw is mostly an innings-eater at this point in his career, and he hasn't been very effective in 22 starts for the Bucs in 2023, going 7-10 with a 4.76 ERA (4.45 FIP) and 1.48 WHIP, but he has struck out 104 hitters in 119 innings pitched. Hill is a fine matchup-based streamer in much deeper fantasy leagues and he'll have a much better offense backing him in San Diego, but we'd recommend fading him in his Friars debut on Sunday against the first-place Dodgers.

Tue Aug 1 202313:14Padres Acquire Rich Hill, Ji Man Choi
The San Diego Padres have acquired starting pitcher Rich Hill and first baseman Ji Man Choi from the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The move offers the Padres two experienced yet relatively affordable players that can serve as key depth pieces down the stretch. Hill, who will head to his 13th team, is in his age-43 season and has remained effective, pitching to a 4.45 FIP, 7.87 K/9, and 3.55 BB/9. The southpaw is only a relevant fantasy option in very deep leagues. Meanwhile, Choi will get an opportunity for a fresh start in San Diego after slashing .205/.224/.507 with a poor wRC+ in Pittsburgh. He owns a 2.6% walk rate and 35.5 strikeout rate, both of which are career-worsts. He can be avoided in fantasy baseball.

Sat May 6 202300:40Rich Hill Collects Loss Friday
Pittsburgh Pirates Rich Hill pitched for 5 and 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five batters Friday. Although he managed to strike out the side in the second inning, Hill struggled to keep the Blue Jays from scoring throughout the rest of the game. Hill had allowed only five runs in his four previous starts. However, after Friday's game, his ERA stands at 4.54. Hill is set to face Colorado next week.

Sun Mar 26 202312:00Rich Hill Scratched With Illness Sunday
Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Rich Hill (illness) was scratched from his Grapefruit League outing on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves due to an illness, according to the team. Wil Crowe will start in his place. It would be a surprise if Hill isn't ready for the start of the 2023 regular season. In just three spring starts, Hill has allowed six earned runs on nine hits while walking two and striking out six in eight innings pitched. The 43-year-old veteran southpaw ended up starting 26 games for the Boston Red Sox in 2022 and wasn't half bad, but there's just no fantasy upside here, especially now that he's pitching for one of the worst teams in baseball. Look elsewhere in fantasy.

Tue Dec 27 202215:26Rich Hill Agrees To One-Year Deal With Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates signed 42-year-old left-hander Rich Hill to a one-year, $8 million deal on Tuesday. The southpaw is entering his 19th big-league season and is currently the oldest player in the majors. The Boston native spent this past season in his hometown with the Red Sox, where he went 8-7 while posting a 4.27 ERA across 124 1/3 innings. He struck out 109 batters with a 20.7 percent strikeout rate. This may be Hill's final year on the mound, and the Pirates are the perfect fit for the veteran. He may contribute a little fantasy value if things go well in Pittsburgh.

Sat Dec 17 202213:18Three Teams Interested In Rich Hill
Along with the Baltimore Orioles, the Los Angeles Angels and Texas Rangers are interested in free-agent left-hander Rich Hill this offseason, according to sources. Hill will be 43 years old for the 2023 season, but he can still be a respectable innings-eater at the back end of a starting rotation. He went 8-7 with a 4.27 ERA (3.92 FIP), a 1.30 WHIP and a 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 124 1/3 innings over 26 starts for the Boston Red Sox last season. Hill doesn't have much left in the tank, but he can still be useful for rotation depth in deeper fantasy leagues as long as he can stay healthy in 2023.

Wed Aug 3 202213:45Rich Hill Starting Wednesday Against Astros
Boston Red Sox left-hander Rich Hill (knee) will start Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros instead of Brayan Bello. Hill was activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday, and he'll return to the starting rotation in a tough matchup against the first-place Astros. The 42-year-old veteran southpaw only threw three innings and 56 pitches in his only minor league rehab start, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to have a long leash in this one. The matchup alone should scare fantasy managers off. In 15 starts before his injury, Hill had gone 4-4 with a 4.20 ERA (4.05 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP and a 58:23 K:BB over 70 2/3 innings pitched. He's not a bad pickup in deeper leagues for rotation depth if he's available on the waiver wire.

Mon Aug 1 202215:48Rich Hill Lined Up To Start On Wednesday
Boston Red Sox left-hander Rich Hill (knee) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list in order to start on Wednesday against the Houston Astros. Nathan Eovaldi and Kutter Crawford will start the first two games of the series on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Hill, 42, went only three innings and 56 pitches in his only minor league rehab start for Double-A Portland last week, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to have a long leash in his first start back this week against a tough opponent in the first-place Astros. Before his injury, Hill had a 4.20 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 58 strikeouts and 23 walks in 70 2/3 innings over 15 starts. There isn't a ton of fantasy upside left in his left arm.

Wed Jul 27 202211:30Christian Arroyo, Rich Hill Starting Rehab Assignments
Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Christian Arroyo (groin) will "most likely" start a minor league rehab assignment for Double-A Portland on Wednesday, according to manager Alex Cora. Left-hander Rich Hill (knee) will make a rehab start for Portland on Wednesday. Arroyo faced Hill during the southpaw's three-inning simulated game last Friday. Arroyo has limited fantasy value as a utility player for Boston who is hitting .224/.278/.362 with four homers, 13 RBI and three stolen bases in 2022. Hill has been out since July 2, but he could be cleared to return to Boston after one or two rehab starts. The 42-year-old veteran will return to a 4-4 record, 4.20 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 70 2/3 innings over 15 starts.

Tue Jul 26 202200:07Rich Hill To Begin Rehab Assignment Wednesday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) will begin a rehab assignment on Wednesday, per Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo. The veteran has been out of action since the beginning of July with a left knee sprain. Both fantasy managers and the Red Sox could use Hill back, as he has managed a serviceable 4.20 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 15 starts this season. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for further news as to how long Hill's rehab assignment may be.

Tue Jul 19 202211:33Rich Hill Could Return To Rotation Soon
Boston Red Sox left-hander Rich Hill (knee) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session at Yankee Stadium last Saturday, and he could return to the starting rotation shortly after the All-Star break. Hill said he wore his knee brace during his latest bullpen session and it felt great. The Red Sox could really use the veteran southpaw back after they just lost Chris Sale again to a broken left pinkie finger that he suffered in the final game before the All-Star break. The 42-year-old Hill may not need to go on a minor league rehab assignment. In his 15 starts for the BoSox this year, Hill has gone 4-4 with a 4.20 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 58 strikeouts and 23 walks in 70 2/3 innings pitched.

Wed Jul 13 202223:31Rich Hill To Throw On Thursday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Thursday. The 42-year-old threw off flat ground on Wednesday, so he appears to be making progress. However, the Red Sox continue to be cautious with the veteran southpaw. The hope is that Hill is cleared to face live hitters, assuming everything goes well during Thursday's session. The left-hander could be back in the Red Sox rotation by the end of July. Hill isn't exactly a reliable fantasy option, but could have some streaming appeal once he returns.

Fri Jul 1 202218:20Rich Hill Feels Pop In His Knee Friday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) stated that he felt a pop in his knee during his start against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. According to Red Sox manager Alex Cora, the team is currently waiting to find out how serious the issue is. In his post-game presser, Hill said that he put the team in a "tough position" while trying to pitch through the ailment. Hill's final line for the day was 4 2/3 innings, three hits, four walks, three earned runs and three strikeouts. The team wound up losing 6-5. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start next Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, but we should know more about his situation and his prospects of making that start soon.

Tue May 31 202200:49Rich Hill Gets Hit Hard Monday, Takes Loss
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rich Hill did not have his best stuff in Monday's 10-0 loss to the Orioles. The veteran pitched 4 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits (including two home runs) and two walks with five strikeouts. The outing ballooned Hill's season ERA to 4.85, and while his 2.54 BB/9 rate has been solid, his 6.69 K/9 rate has been quite low. Hill will look to rectify things in his next start in a favorable matchup at the A's. He is rostered in just 13 percent of leagues and will have a good matchup, but his potential to turn in dud starts and low strikeout totals make him a relatively risky streamer.

Fri May 13 202216:42Rich Hill Back With The Team, Set To Start On Saturday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rich Hill (illness) is back with the team on Friday. He is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. Hill tested positive for COVID-19 about a week ago and landed on the COVID-19 injured list. The 42-year-old struggled over his first two starts of the year, but he pitched a total of 13 scoreless innings in his last three starts prior to landing on the COVID-19 injured list. In total, he has a 2.86 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP over five starts on the year.
