Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill takes another step toward contributing in the NLDS
LA TimesThe indomitable Rich Hill climbed the Dodger Stadium mound again Friday, refusing to yield to a left-knee injury that would have sent the 39-year-old left-hander to the injured list if not for the playoffs starting in less than two weeks. The high-intensity session “went really well,” Hill said, adding that the ball came out of his hand “great,” and the knee felt “really good with the brace on.” Hill will start for the Dodgers on Tuesday night in San Diego. “He’ll throw two innings against the Padres, and we’ll go from there,” Roberts said. “The brace really neutralized that MCL, and I really don’t feel any differences in my mechanics,” Hill said. “I would feel confident pitching without the brace, but I know it’s not a very smart idea to go out there and possibly tweak it again.” Was there anything in Hill’s mechanics Friday that gave Roberts pause?
