Twins Place Rich Hill On Injured List

By Connor Byrne | August 3, 2020 at 10:56pm CDT

The Twins have placed left-hander Rich Hill on the injured list because of shoulder fatigue, Dan Hayes of The Athletic was among those to report. Hill’s IL placement will be backdated, per manager Rocco Baldelli. The club has also added righty Juan Minaya to its 60-man player pool, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com tweets.

Consistent IL placements have been an unfortunate part of the package with Hill, a well-traveled 40-year-old who, on a per-inning basis, has surprisingly been one of the game’s most effective pitchers since he revived his career in 2015. Hill’s most recent success, primarily with the Dodgers, prompted the Twins to hand him a $3MM guarantee last offseason. It looked good through one start this year, as Hill tossed five scoreless, two-hit innings in a win over the Cardinals last Wednesday. However, Hill was scratched from his scheduled start against Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Reigning AL Central Minnesota ia off to a tremendous 8-2 start this season, but it hasn’t come without a few key problems in its rotation. Before Hill went on the IL, fellow free-agent pickup Homer Bailey and 2019 All-Star Jake Odorizzi landed on the shelf with injuries. Jose Berrios, Kenta Maeda, Randy Dobnak and Monday starter Lewis Thorpe are still around, but it’s unclear who will fill the last spot if the Twins need someone to step up.

      Careful getting off that high horse, Just. You’re up pretty high. You know who’d hurt himself getting off a horse? Yup, you guessed it, Frank Stallone. Oh, yeah, and Rich Hill.

    It’s noteworthy only when Rich Hill is not on the DL.

    This won’t hurt them to make the playoffs but it will to go far in it. That being said maybe they’ll trade for a pitcher but I really do wonder how much of that will happen considering the ridiculous 16 team playoff format

    Twins will waltz into the playoffs. Maybe hill and odor being on the DL is a blessing in disguise, fresh for the final push.

    Comes with the territory of signing him. The Twins have a bright front office. I’d bet this is *not* some kinda surprise, or whatever.

    They Signed Rich Hill for the postseason. If he can start in October it will be a good contract.
    It is far to early to judge this move.

    So, is Rich Hill the Byron Buxton of pitchers or is Byron Buxton the Rich Hill of outfielders?
