Dodgers' Rich Hill: Candidate to fill long relief role upon return
Hill (finger) could pitch out of the bullpen when he's activated from the disabled list, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Manager Dave Roberts seems inclined to keep Alex Wood in the rotation following his excellent outing Wednesday, which could leave Hill out of the rotation for a bit if all else stays the same. Things could change in the meantime, but Hill's value would diminish significantly if he isn't starting ballgames, so monitor this situation as the veteran lefty nears a return to action.
