RICH HILL NEWS

Struggles in loss Friday Hill (3-1) took the loss Friday against Durham, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks across five innings. He struck out six.

Impact Hill turned in his roughest outing at 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.

Signs minors pact with Royals Hill signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Tuesday.

Impact 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.

Would like to pitch in 2025 Hill would like to pitch for a major-league team in 2025, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Impact 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.
