Athletics' Rich Hill: Unlikely to make scheduled start Sunday

Hill (blister) is unlikely to be ready for his next scheduled start Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

The A's options are limited, as putting Hill on the DL would prevent him from pitching again before the August 1 non-waiver trade deadline. Jesse Hahn and Zach Neal are believed to be the most likely options to slot in for Sunday's turn in the rotation against the Rays in Oakland, but their availability will hinge on their workload at Triple-A Nashville in the coming days.
