After signing a minor league contract with the Red Sox on Aug. 16, former Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill’s contract was selected on Tuesday afternoon. The left-hander started for Triple-A Worcester on Friday at Norfolk, throwing 2.0 scoreless innings with two strikeouts, one walk, and one hit batter.
The two-inning appearance marked Hill’s first appearance on a mound against live hitters in more than 10 months, and represented the next step toward rejoining the big league club in Boston as the team makes a final push for a playoff spot in the American League.
